Russia to expel 10 US diplomats, ban several Biden administration officials

Moscow plans to expel 10 diplomats from the US and ban several high-ranking officials from entering Russia, in retaliation for penalties inflicted by Washington this week.

The no-entry list includes the US attorney general, the secretary of homeland security, the FBI director and the director of national intelligence, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry, DPA news agency reported.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Moscow would also restrict the activities of organisations and foundations from the US, to make sure they don’t interfere in the country’s internal affairs.

Lavrov also recommended that US ambassador John Sullivan return home for consultations in Washington, according to the Interfax news agency.

Moscow had earlier withdrew its ambassador, Anatoly Antonov, from Washington.
