OFFICERS PROBE RUSSIAN HIT ATTEMPT’ Putin boot for 23 UK officials

- By Nigel Nelson POLITICAL EDITOR

VLADIMIR Putin has turfed out 23 British diplomats.

The tit-for-tat expulsions matched the 23 Russian officials expelled in the wake of the Sergei Skripal poisoning.

Theresa May said she “anticipate­d a response of this kind” and she will consider her next steps this week after talks with our allies.

The Russian president, certain to be re-elected today, also told the British Council, which works to maintains cultural links, its presence was no longer welcome.
