Russia announced today the expulsion of the US ambassador to it, saying that this was in response to the expulsion of 13 Russian diplomats, according to Al-Jazeera. The United States has expelled Russian diplomats at the United Nations over national security concerns.
The US mission to the United Nations described the Russian diplomats as "intelligence agents who were engaged in espionage activities that harm our national security." The White House announced today that the United States has imposed further sanctions on Russia and Belarus in response to President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine. "The United States will take measures to hold Belarus accountable for supporting Putin's invasion of Ukraine, to weaken Russia's defense sector and military power for years to come, as well as to target Russia's most important sources of wealth and prevent Russian airlines from entering U.S. airspace," the White House added.
