Russia will not tolerate obnoxiousness from the EU and US. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov made the statement Tuesday in a press conference following two dozen nations announcing the expulsion of Russian diplomats.
Calling the expulsions colossal pressure and colossal blackmail, Lavrov reiterated that Moscow was not responsible for the poisoning of a former Russian spy on UK soil. The foreign minister said some countries were just blindly following suit and such actions will only make things worse.
So far, 24 countries, including the United States, Germany and France have announced the expulsion of Russian diplomats, and Britain and Russia have expelled 23 of each other's diplomats.
