In solidarity with US and EU, Ukraine expelling 13 Russian diplomats
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUkrainian President Petro Poroshenko says his nation is expelling 13 Russian diplomats, acting in sync with the US and the EU nations.
Poroshenko says on Facebook that Ukraine is acting in the “spirit of solidarity” with its “British partners and trans-Atlantic allies.” The US is kicking out 60 Russian diplomats, Germany and Poland say they have asked four Russian diplomats to leave and other EU nations have made similar moves.
Russia and Ukraine have been in a tug-of-war since Moscow’s 2014 annexation of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula and support for pro-Russia separatists in eastern Ukraine.
Poroshenko in this afternoon’s post called for further “raising the price” for Moscow through financial and economic sanctions.
