More than 20 Western nations have announced they are to expel Russian diplomats in solidarity with Britain over the poisoning of a former Russian spy.

Diplomats are being kicked out of at least 23 countries -- 16 European Union states, the United States, Canada, Ukraine, Norway, Albania and Australia -- in a coordinated effort that represents a significant diplomatic victory for the UK, which blames Russia for poisoning Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia.

The UK has already expelled 23 Russian diplomats. Moscow retaliated by sending the same number of UK diplomats back, and by shuttering British cultural institutions in the country. 

It is interesting that USA not only expels 60 diplomats but also closes Russian consulate in Seattle, Washington, which happens just half a year after Russian embassy was closed in San Francisco.
