Russia vows 'appropriate response' to UK expulsion of Russian defence attache

The Russian embassy in London said on Wednesday that British restrictions against Russia had been imposed under a "groundless and ridiculous pretext", and it promised "an appropriate response", Russian state news agency TASS reported.

Britain said on Wednesday it would expel Russia's defence attache, remove diplomatic status from some properties and limit the length of Russian diplomatic visas.
