Ukraine to expel Russian consul in Odessa in latest tit-for-tat move
Ukraine will declare the Russian consul in the port city of Odessa as 'persona non grata' in response to the Russian government declaring a Ukrainian diplomat in Moscow as 'persona non grata', a foreign ministry statement said on Tuesday.
Russia and Ukraine also expelled a diplomat each earlier this month after Moscow accused a Ukrainian consul in St. Petersburg of trying to obtain classified information.
