MOSCOW, April 4 (Xinhua) -- The Russian Foreign Ministry said on Friday that it will expel three employees from the Moldovan embassy in Moscow as a retaliatory move.
The ministry summoned the Moldovan ambassador to Russia and lodged a strong protest over Moldova's decision on Monday to expel three Russian diplomats for alleged activities incompatible with diplomatic status, it said in a statement.
Accusations of Russian diplomats interfering in Moldova's internal affairs "have no grounds," the ministry added. ■
