The US last month expelled two Russian officials in response to an attack on an American diplomat by a Russian police officer in Moscow, the State Department has said.
The officials were expelled 17 June, department spokesman John Kirby told reporters. He didn’t immediately provide additional information.
Kirby said the American was attacked 6 June by a Russian guard outside the US embassy compound. Kirby said the attack was “unprovoked and it endangered the safety of our employee”.
