MOSCOW, Feb 5 (Reuters) – Russia’s foreign ministry said on Thursday that it had expelled a German diplomat in response to what it said was Berlin’s unfounded expulsion of a Russian diplomat accused of espionage in January.
The ministry said in a statement that Germany’s accusations that the Russian diplomat had been engaged in spying were fabricated and a provocation.
