Sweden expels 5 Russian diplomats over suspected spying.

Sweden has expelled five Russian diplomats for conducting activities incompatible with their diplomatic status, citing the security threat posed by Russian intelligence gathering. The Swedish security service has long warned that Russia uses diplomats to spy on Sweden, and concerns have grown in many countries over Russian intelligence activities. This comes after Norway expelled 15 Russian embassy officials earlier this month, and Sweden expelled three Russian diplomats in April last year.
