Russia expels four UK diplomats
Russia is to expel four UK diplomats in the continuing row over Moscow’s refusal to extradite the man suspected of Alexander Litvinenko’s murder.
The four diplomats must leave Russia within 10 days, and Moscow is to review visa applications for UK officials.
Foreign ministry spokesman Mikhail Kamynin said co-operation in counter terrorism would no longer be possible.
On Monday four Russian embassy staff were expelled from the UK as part of the row over the murder in London.
Mr Kamynin also said Moscow would not apply for any UK visas for Russian officials.
