Ok, this is a bit of a straw man, but still completely possible. Let’s say I have a car that I’ve been restoring in my garage. Haven’t driven it on the street, but now it’s done, and I need to get it inspected. So I grab my flatbed trailer and tow it to the shop, dropping it in their parking lot so I can get my…

“...talk of your (Russian) troop presence on the Syrian territory is a lie spread by Western countries, the United States.”

Well, the host country can also declare individuals “Persona non grata” and have them expelled from their territory.
