Earlier in the day, the Danish Foreign Ministry said that the number of Russian embassy staff in Copenhagen should be reduced to the same level as the Danish embassy in Moscow and Russia's diplomatic mission should have maximum of five diplomats and 20 staffers.
"We consider the demand of the Danish authorities to reduce the number of diplomatic staff working at the Russian Embassy in Copenhagen from 15 to 5 people as another manifestation of the hostile position of the Danish leadership towards our country," Zakharova stressed.
