Russia criticized on Monday Britain 's decision to expel four Russian diplomats in retaliation after its strive for extraditing a spy-poisoning case Russian suspect was rejected.
Britain's such move will lead to "serious consequences" in British-Russian relations, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mikhail Kamynin said in a broadcast address.
The decision to expel Russian diplomats is "a mistake" and " Russia will give response on Britain's actions." Itar-Tass quoted Chairman of the State Duma Committee for CIS Affairs and Relations with Compatriots Andrei Kokoshin as saying.
British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said on Monday that Britain will expel four diplomats from the Russian embassy in London due to Russia's refusal to extradite a main suspect in the Alexander Litvinenko's poisoning case, Andrei Lugovoi, who was accused of murdering the former Russian agent Litvinenko.
