Moscow expels Polish diplomats in spying row

RUSSIA has expelled a number of Polish diplomats accusing them of activities "incompatible with their status" in response to expulsions of Russian diplomats by Warsaw, the foreign ministry said on Monday.

The ministry confirmed Polish media reports that several Russian diplomats had been expelled earlier, "allegedly for activities incompatible with their status", a diplomatic phrase generally used to refer to spying.

"The Polish authorities indeed took such an unfriendly and absolutely groundless step," Moscow said.

"The Russian side took appropriate measures and a number of Polish diplomats have already left the territory of our country for activities incompatible with their status," the ministry said in a statement, without giving any further details.
