The information comes from the Russian Foreign Ministry's spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, via the state news agency Tass.

According to Zakharova, the ambassador will be reminded of "Stockholm's obligations under the Vienna Convention and the assurances previously given."

In the article, Tass links to reporting on paint attacks against the Russian embassy in Stockholm.

Maria Zakharova tells Tass that the Russian embassy in Sweden and its diplomats “are exposed not only to a theoretical threat, but to actual physical attacks with drones fired specifically at” the mission’s premises. According to Zakharova, this happens regularly.

Also last year, Sweden's ambassador was summoned by the Russian Foreign Ministry because of paint attacks on the embassy in Stockholm.
