The Foreign Ministry has given the Netherlands until 6 p.m. Tuesday to provide an explanation for the attack on a Russian diplomat living in The Hague.
The ultimatum was published on the ministry's website following a visit to the ministry by Dutch Ambassador Ron van Dartel, who was handed a protest note Tuesday morning.
