Ukraine has called on participating states of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) to step up pressure on Russia, including by restricting its diplomatic and so-called "cultural" infrastructure across the continent.
Kyiv argues that some of this infrastructure has been used for espionage and subversive activities in Europe, rather than purely diplomatic or cultural purposes, and is urging OSCE members to take a tougher stance in response.
A broader push for pressure
The appeal forms part of Ukraine's wider diplomatic effort to rally international partners behind measures aimed at limiting Russia's influence operations abroad as the war between the two countries continues.
It remains to be seen how individual OSCE member states will respond to Kyiv's call, given differing national approaches to diplomatic relations with Moscow.
