The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said Moscow operates on the premise that changes in the Bangladesh government constitute an "internal affair" of that country.
"However, we look forward to the internal political processes in that friendly country returning to the constitutional norms as soon as possible," said the Russian Embassy in Dhaka quoting its Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
On August 5, Bangladeshi media reported the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her cabinet, which was preceded by mass protest rallies whose participants demanded to bring to justice the officials responsible for deadly anti-government student protests in July, said the Russian government.
The situation in the country is controlled by the Bangladeshi Army, it noted. A transitional (interim) government is expected to be formed soon, it said.
The Russian government also said no injuries of Russian citizens were reported.
