Romanian authorities have detained six individuals on charges of attempting to destabilise the state, allegedly with Russian involvement. Among them is 101-year-old former army general Radu Theodoru. The arrests took place as Romania expelled two Russian diplomats for actions deemed inconsistent with diplomatic norms, with Moscow stating it will respond.
