Russia announced today (Friday) the expulsion of diplomats from Germany, Sweden and Poland, claiming they took part in "illegal demonstrations" last month in favor of opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
The announcement by the Moscow Foreign Ministry came hours after a tense visit by EU Foreign Minister Joseph Burrell, who was scheduled to meet with his colleague Sergei Lavrov.
A spokeswoman for the Swedish Foreign Ministry denied that diplomats from the country were present at any demonstration.
German Foreign Minister Heiko Mas said the expulsion of diplomats was unjustified and would further hurt relations between Moscow and Europe.
He said Berlin would respond if Moscow did not reconsider that move.

Navalny was arrested on January 17 after returning from Germany, where he had recovered from his nerve gas poisoning in Siberia, according to which there was an attempt by the Kremlin to eliminate him.
The Prisons Service accused Navalny of violating his parole, and he asked the court to convert the sentence imposed on him after he was convicted of embezzlement in 2014 into actual imprisonment.
Navalny claims the case was sewn against him for political motives, but on Monday the court agreed to impose the prison sentence, from which he will serve a little less than three years.

During the pre-sentencing hearing, the 44-year-old Navalny said the whole country knew he was poisoned and that he was in Germany and therefore could not appear before the prison service.
He said the Kremlin was trying to intimidate "millions" through his incarceration, describing President Vladimir Putin as "a prisoner" and "poisonous Vladimir in his underwear" after revealing that the nerve gas that nearly killed him was scattered in his underwear.
