Russia expels UK diplomats

On Monday four Russian embassy staff were expelled from the UK as part of the row over the murder in London.

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.

UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband said he was “disappointed” by what he called a “completely unjustified” move.
