Georgia expels one Russian diplomat over Skripal case

Earlier this week, over 25 countries decided to expel Russian diplomats over Moscow’s alleged involvement in the attack on former Russian intelligence officer Sergei Skripal.

Georgia is expelling one Russian diplomat from the country, a representative of Russia’s interests operating at the Swiss embassy in Tbilisi, the Georgian Foreign Ministry stated.

“The Ministry expresses solidarity with Great Britain, it supports the position of the UK and the international community on this issue, and therefore considers the employee representing Russia’s interests in Georgia at the Swiss Embassy unacceptable and demands that he leaves Georgia within seven days,” the statement said.
