Moscow has expelled a Ukrainian diplomat in retaliation for Kiev's expulsion of a Russian diplomat, RIA news agency on Tuesday quoted a source at the Russian Foreign Ministry as saying.
It gave no further details.
Ties between Moscow and Kiev hit rock bottom over Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea Peninsula in March 2014.
Unrest then started in Ukraine's Russian-speaking east and Kiev and the West accuse Moscow of driving a separatist rebellion there. Moscow denies that.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
