The Kremlin said on Thursday that the decision to freeze the bank accounts of Finland's embassy and consulate in Russia was a response to unfriendly actions.
This was stated by the press secretary of the Kremlin Dmytro Peskov, he was quoted by the TARS agency.
"This is not an initiative move from the Russian side - we are reacting to the situation created by the authorities of a number of countries of the collective West, in particular, unfortunately, Finland," said the representative of the Kremlin.
"We always say that we cannot and will not leave unfriendly actions unanswered," Peskov stated.
Finland's Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday that Russia had frozen the accounts of the country's representative offices, so the missions had to make payments in cash.
