Russia's foreign ministry said on Thursday it has demanded that the Czech embassy in Moscow cut its staff after Prague ordered Russia to remove most of its remaining diplomats in a row over spying.

"The (Czech) ambassador was told that we reserve the right to take other steps in the event the hysterical anti-Russian campaign spirals further," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement.
