Russia expels british diplomats in revenge
You're referring to the recent diplomatic spat between Russia and the United Kingdom!
Yes, on March 12, 2018, Russia announced that it would expel 23 British diplomats in response to the UK's decision to expel 23 Russian diplomats over the poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury, England. The Skripals were poisoned with a nerve agent, which was allegedly produced by Russia's military intelligence agency, GRU.
The Russian Foreign Ministry accused the UK of "provocative actions" and claimed that the British diplomats were involved in "espionage activities" in Russia. The expelled diplomats were given 1 week to leave the country.
In retaliation, the UK also expelled 23 Russian diplomats, citing the "highly likely" involvement of Russia in the poisoning of the Skripals. The UK's Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, described the Russian actions as "a reckless and indiscriminate act" that put innocent lives at risk.
This diplomatic row is part of a broader deterioration in relations between Russia and the West, which has been fueled by concerns over Russian interference in elections, cyberattacks, and human rights abuses.
