The Canadian government is expelling Russian diplomats working in Canada.
Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland announced Monday that four members of Russia’s diplomatic staff working at the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Canada or at the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Montréal are being removed from Canada, and three applications for additional staff are being denied.
"The four have been identified as intelligence officers or individuals who have used their diplomatic status to undermine Canada’s security or interfere in our democracy," Freeland said.
The minister said the move is in "solidarity" with the United Kingdom over the nerve agent attack in Salisbury.
