16 countries expel 106 Russian diplomats in one day
The US, Canada and 14 European Union states on Monday expelled as many as 106 Russian diplomats over Russia's alleged involvement in the poisoning of former spy Sergei Skripal in the UK. Russia has vowed to retaliate against the expulsions of its diplomats, calling the move a 'provocative gesture'. Earlier, Russia and the UK expelled each other's 23 diplomats.
