Russia expels british diplomats in revenge #

It seems like there's been a diplomatic spat between Russia and the UK!

Yes, you're correct. In response to the UK's decision to expel 23 Russian diplomats over the Salisbury nerve agent attack, Russia has retaliated by expelling 23 British diplomats from Russia.

This move is seen as a tit-for-tat response, with both countries accusing each other of espionage and aggression. The UK had accused Russia of being behind the attack on former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury, England, which left them critically ill.

Russia has denied any involvement in the attack, but the UK has maintained that it was a "reckless and indiscriminate" use of a chemical weapon. In response, the UK expelled the Russian diplomats, citing the "highly likely" involvement of the Russian government in the attack.

Now, Russia has taken similar action, expelling the British diplomats and accusing the UK of "provocative actions" and "hostile rhetoric". This escalation in tensions between the two countries is likely to have significant implications for their relations and potentially even global security.
