THE Russian is working for the United Nations and is being deported, he added to the 12 Russian UN diplomats whom Washington has also ordered to leave the country amid national security concerns.
Ο εUN representative “We are sorry to be in this situation, but we have commitments with the host country,” Stefan Dujarric said today about the deportation of the Russian and a member of the UN staff.

Reacting, Moscow said it would retaliate for the deportation of 12 US diplomats from the United States to the United Nations for alleged espionage.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Washington’s action “would not be without its appropriate response and response – not necessarily symmetrical.”
