Putin says Russia won’t expel US diplomats in tit-for-tat measure

Despite Sergei Lavrov proposal Vladimir Putin decided not to expel any U.S. diplomats. – Vasilis Chronopoulos

Vladimir Putin has said Russia will not expel any US diplomats in response to the US decision to kick out Russian officials over allegations of interference in the US presidential election.

The foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, said earlier on Friday that he was recommending that Putin expel 35 American diplomats in a tit-for-tat response to the US move.

Putin said Russia’s response would depend on US attitudes to Russia under the new administration of Donald Trump, who has repeatedly spoken positively of Russia and Putin. Russia is accused of intervening in the election in support of Trump.
