Vladimir Putin asks 755 US diplomats to leave Russia
MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday said that 755 US diplomats must leave his country, after Moscow announced it would expel American staff in retaliation for tough new sanctions from Washington.



The Russian foreign ministry had earlier demanded that the US cut its diplomatic presence in Russia by September to 455 -- the same number Moscow has in the US.
