Ex-Spy Poisoning Case: Russian Foreign Ministry declares the expulsion of 23 British diplomats
[]
Russia has announced it will expel 23 British diplomats who must leave the country within a week. The move is in retaliation for the expulsion of 23 Russian diplomats from the UK, in the growing diplomatic crisis surrounding an alleged nerve agent attack in Britain. The move comes one day before Russia holds its presidential election. Eight candidates, including President Vladimir Putin are in the race. Putin himself is running for a fourth term.
