In addition, the total number of people allowed to be accredited to NATO will be reduced from 20 to 10. 1/ This is not the first time NATO has downsized the Russian mission. After the Salisbury attack, it was cut from 30 to 20 people. But that was in retaliation for the attack and not particular to the individuals like this move. 2/
