Russia expels Ukrainian diplomat in tit-for-tat move

Moscow  (HRNW) Russia’s foreign ministry said on Monday it had expelled a Ukrainian diplomat in retaliation for Kiev kicking out an employee of the Russian embassy earlier this month.

Russia and Ukraine expelled a diplomat each earlier this month after Moscow accused a Ukrainian consul in St. Petersburg of trying to obtain classified information.

Ukraine’s foreign ministry called the decision “another provocation” and said that in the near future it would announce “on the basis of reciprocity” the expulsion of a Russian diplomat from country.
