30 April 2023 at 05:55. Since the start of the Ukraine War, each day we hear about the cycle of retaliation acts between NATO members and Russia regarding the Diplomatic Relations, Diplomatic Embassies and Diplomatic Staff that seems like a ‘Diplomatic-War’ instead of a ‘Diplomatic Relations’, so the question is if there is a point to continue operating Diplomatic Embassies or even Diplomatic Relations under ‘Diplomatic-War’.
If we have a ‘Direct War’, then obviously, the war cuts the diplomatic relations, yet what are the options in case of an ‘Indirect War’?
To Be - Managing ‘Diplomatic-War’ under the concept that it’s better than ‘Not to Be’.
‘Non-Diplomatic-War’ - Temporary closing of the Diplomatic Embassies to avoid escalation in Diplomatic Relations, yet maintain the Diplomatic Relations from each Home Country.
Not to Be - Cutting the Diplomatic Relations including closing Diplomatic Embassies under the concept of de-facto ‘Enemy’.
Russia from the start of the Ukraine War, defined countries that imposed sanctions against her as ‘Non-Friendly Countries’. Thus, Not-Friendly is not an Enemy. Still, since then, we have de-facto a ‘Diplomatic-War’ between ‘Diplomatic-Enemies’.
Sometimes in conflicts, it’s good to ‘Take a ‘Break’ to avoid escalation in the relations, so perhaps, temporary closing of the Diplomatic Embassies to avoid deterioration in the Diplomatic Relations, yet maintain the Diplomatic Relations from each Home Country may prevent escalation in the ‘Diplomatic-War’ that can reach, sooner than later, the ‘Break-Point’ that may lead to full cutting of the Diplomatic Relations.
