A total of 45 Russian diplomats expelled by Poland have left the country, the RIA news agency reported.

On March 23, Poland ordered 45 staff members at the Russian embassy in Warsaw to leave the country in less than a week.

The number represented about half of the total Russian staff at the embassy and its consular and trade representatives in the country.

Russian ambassador to Poland Sergei Andreev has warned that there will be consequences for Poland's actions.
