Kremlin says Russia did not initiate 'any diplomatic war' - Breitbart

Moscow (AFP) – The Kremlin said on Friday it was not Russia that had unleashed a diplomatic war with the West following the mass expulsion of US envoys in retaliation against coordinated moves by Britain and its allies over a spy poisoning.

“Russia did not unleash any diplomatic war,” President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists. “Russia never initiated any exchange of sanctions.”
