Russia Expels 60 American Diplomats in Escalating Standoff Over Poison Attack in U.K.

The Kremlin announced it will expel 60 American diplomats and close the American Consulate in St. Petersburg as part of a widely anticipated diplomatic reprisal for the expulsion of Russian diplomats from two dozen Western countries in response to the poisoning of a former Russian spy in the United Kingdom earlier this month. The Russian government denies it was behind the March 4 poison attack in Salisbury, England, that has left Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia Skripal, in the hospital.
