Russia Expels 10 U.S. Diplomats in Retaliation for U.S. Sanctions
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Russia's Foreign Ministry has expelled 10 U.S. diplomats and will bar
top U.S. officials from traveling to Russia, after President Biden
ordered sweeping new sanctions against Russia. The White House accuses
Russia of interfering in the 2020 election and says Russian hackers are
behind the massive Solar Winds hack, which compromised the computer
systems of U.S. government agencies and scores of private companies.
