MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia has ordered 60 U.S. diplomats out of the country by April 5, the foreign ministry said on Thursday.
It said 58 diplomats in Moscow and two general consulate officials in Yekaterinburg were persona non grata in a row over the poisoning of a former Russian double-agent in Britain.
