Moscow: Moscow condemns the detention of an employee of the Russian Foreign Ministry in France, this is unacceptable and contrary to obligations under the Vienna Convention, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.

According to Namibia Press Agency, earlier in the day, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that the French border service detained a Russian Foreign Ministry employee, confiscating her computer and phone. The French ambassador to Moscow was summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry.

"This [the detention] is a completely unacceptable action. It contradicts all the obligations of the French Republic under the Vienna Convention. Representatives of our consular service in Paris were not allowed [to see her] for a long time," Peskov told reporters.

The detention of the Russian diplomat further aggravates France's relations with Russia, the official said, adding that these relations have already been damaged by the French authorities.
