Tit for Tat: US Expels Russian Diplomats in Retaliation

The US State Department has expelled two Russian diplomats from Moscow's embassy in Washington in response to Russia's expulsion of two US diplomats last month. The move comes amid escalating tensions between the two countries, particularly due to Russia's ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The Russian Foreign Ministry accused the US diplomats of illegal activities and maintaining contact with a Russian citizen accused of cooperating with a foreign state. The US State Department denounced the charges as baseless.
