MOSCOW, Feb 5, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Russia said Thursday it was expelling a German diplomat after Berlin last month threw out a Russian official it accused of being a spy handler.

Russia's foreign ministry said it had issued a "note declaring a diplomatic employee of the German Embassy in Moscow persona non grata" in what was a "symmetrical response."
