Moscow is also closing the alliance's liaison mission. The announcement comes after NATO expelled eight members of the Russian mission to the military alliance.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Monday that his country is suspending its mission to NATO.
He said the move was a response to the expulsion of eight Russian staff at the military alliance's mission last week.
NATO said the individuals expelled were in fact "undeclared Russian intelligence officers."
The expulsions meant that half of the Moscow team were prohibited from working at NATO's Brussels headquarters.
