LONDON – In a calibrated act of reciprocal retaliation against Moscow’s recent expulsion of a British diplomat and the subsequent public smear campaign against the UK, the United Kingdom announced the expulsion of a Russian diplomat on Wednesday. The UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office confirmed it summoned Russia’s ambassador to London to its headquarters to formally deliver notice of the “reciprocal action”, a move that comes as bilateral tensions between Russia and Western nations continue to escalate sharply.
