Twenty-three Russian diplomats, who were ordered out of Britain in response to the poisoning of a former spy with a deadly nerve agent arrived in Moscow yesterday. On 14th of this month, British Prime Minister Theresa May gave the 23 diplomats -- whom she said were undeclared intelligence agents - a week to leave Britain.
Former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, are in critical condition in the English city of Salisbury after being poisoned on 4th of this month. Russia has fiercely denied its involvement. It may be recalled that Moscow in retaliation, declared 23 British diplomats persona non-grata and gave them one week's time to leave the country, who are expected to leave in the coming days.
