The Russian Foreign Ministry has promised to respond to the expulsion of a Russian journalist from Sweden.

Moscow, October 11 (Xinhua) – Russia intends to take retaliatory measures following the expulsion of a Russian journalist from Sweden. This was announced on Saturday by Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova.

"Despite the fact that the Russian correspondent had all the necessary documents, he was detained, interrogated, and ultimately deported. Will there be retaliatory measures? I hope you have no doubt," M. Zakharova wrote on her Telegram channel.

According to her, Swedish authorities prevented a VGTRK journalist from completing a professional assignment—reporting on the economic situation in European Union countries. "This time, the pretext for obstructing the editorial assignment and the subsequent deportation was, believe it or not, health insurance. No, there was. But due to Stockholm's own decision, these insurance companies were effectively banned from operating in the country," the diplomat noted.

M. Zakharova emphasized that the journalist's five-year, multiple-entry French visa was revoked not for violating visa regulations, but because his health insurance was not valid in Sweden, as determined by Swedish authorities. She added that the French visa had previously been issued with this insurance in mind. "It would seem that EU rules should be the same for everyone," the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson added.
