Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have announced the expulsion of a total of 10 Russian diplomats. Estonia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it was expelling three diplomatic staff members of the Russian Embassy in Tallinn. In a tweet on Friday, it said they had "directly and actively undermined Estonia's security" and had "spread propaganda justifying Russia's illegal warfare."

Latvia's foreign ministry said it was also expelling three diplomats "in solidarity with Ukraine."

Lithuania echoed that sentiment in a statement published online declaring four employees of the Russian Embassy as "personae non gratae."

All three countries are members of NATO, NBCNEWS reports
