UK expels Russian diplomat from London embassy
Britain said on Tuesday it had expelled a diplomat from Russia's embassy in London and that Russia had responded in kind, the latest in a series of disputes between the countries.
Britain said it requested the expulsion of the Russian diplomat on Dec. 10 after "clear evidence" of Russian intelligence service activities against British interests. Russia requested the removal of the British diplomat on Dec. 16, Britain said. Both diplomats had now been withdrawn, it added in a written ministerial statement. (Reuters)
