Russia expels US deputy ambassador from embassy in Moscow
A State Department spokesperson told the media on Thursday that Russia has expelled Bart Gorman, the U.S. Deputy Chief of Mission to Russia, from its embassy in Moscow.
The spokesperson described Gorman as "the second-most senior official at U.S. Embassy Moscow after the Ambassador and a key member of the Embassy's senior leadership team."
The State Department described the measure as "unprovoked and we consider this an escalatory step and are considering our response."
"We note that Russia’s actions have led to the U.S. mission to Russia being staffed at levels well below the Russian mission to the United States," the spokesperson also said.
