The United States has expelled 12 Russian diplomats at the United Nations over national security concerns, US and Russian diplomats said on Monday.

@SABCNews

The US mission to the United Nations described the Russian diplomats as “intelligence operatives” who had been “engaging in espionage activities that are adverse to our national security.” Russia’s U.N. Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia told reporters the diplomats had been asked to leave by March 7. He said Russia would respond to the move “because it’s diplomatic practice.”

U.S. Deputy U.N. Ambassador Richard Mills responded: “Those diplomats that have been asked to leave the United States were engaged in activities that were not in accordance with their responsibilities and obligations as diplomats.”

In the 60's they fought with Cuba for having allied with Russia now Putin is fighting Ukraine for having allied with them. This ain't never gonna stop...

I really Appreciate the Move of The USA … Puttin has gone made to act this way.

Not a wise move by USA

Told you UN is not for all nations but USA and Europe How could USA expel Russia as if they own united nations? Ooh I forgot THEY ACTUALLY OWNING IT

US IS THE PERPETRATOR OF EVIL

🇺🇸 expell members, so these are their entities. They own EU, UN, NATO😢😢

This is madness the US is crumbling

This questions the validity of UN head offices in New York... dialog may fail. Only the UN assembly should have such powers or those HQs should be relocated.

Venezuela, Syria, Cuba, North Korea and Iran recognised the Dombas republics and declared their support for Russia; when do we hear their pespectives on SABC and when will the Russian or Cuban ambassador be given interviews on this subject by SABC?
