By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: The United States Department of State has confirmed that the U.S. expelled two Russian embassy officials after Russia expelled 2 U.S. diplomats from the American embassy in Moscow.

According to Reuters, the U.S. State Department said that it will not tolerate the Russian’s Government’s pattern of harassment of U.S. diplomats.

“In response to the Russian Federation’s specious expulsion of two U.S. Embassy Moscow diplomats, the State Department reciprocated by declaring persona non grata two Russian Embassy officials operating in the United States,” a State Department spokesman said.

On September 14, Russia said that it was expelling two U.S. diplomats whom it accused of working with a Russian national charged with collaborating with a foreign state.

Due to the war in Ukraine, relations between the U.S. and Russia have worsened and the U.S. continues to assist and support Ukraine in response to its invasion in February 2022.
