Peskov: Kremlin preparing response to UK decision to expel diplomats

Описание: (16 Mar 2018) The Kremlin said it is preparing steps to retaliate against Britain's decision to expel 23 Russian diplomats and halt high-level meetings between British and Russian officials.
After the Russian foreign minister announced on Friday that it would expel British diplomats, President Vladimir Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters Moscow's response "will be coming shortly."
Tensions between Britain and Russia mounted after ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter were poisoned by a military-grade nerve agent in the English city of Salisbury earlier this month. Britain blamed Russia for the attack.
Peskov said that the Kremlin is surprised by the British prime minister's accusations, saying that they "not only violate international law but also run against common sense."
