Washington's decision to expel two Russian diplomats in retaliation for a similar expulsion of US diplomats is "banal revenge", Russian ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said Saturday.
In a statement on Telegram he added that at a meeting with the US side, "I asked my interlocutors to explain what exactly our comrades were accused of and I received no arguments. Thus, this is, in fact, banal revenge, which does not do credit to American diplomacy."
