jul 16, 2007 - UK expels Russian diplomats

Description:

"Relations between Britain and Moscow today took a sharp dive as the foreign secretary, David Miliband, announced the expulsion of four diplomats from the Russian embassy in London.
He told the Commons the move was intended to "send a clear and proportionate signal" to Russia of the seriousness with which Britain viewed Russia's refusal to extradite the ex-KGB agent Andrei Lugovoi to stand trial for the murder of Alexander Litvinenko."
