"Now our Western partners, I mean primarily the United Kingdom, the United States and several countries that have blindly followed them, have run out of niceties, resorting to open lies, to outright misinformation. We will respond to this fairly calmly, coolly, and insist that any accusations, any allegations must be justified by facts," Sergey Lavrov said.

According to Lavrov, the question of how far mutual deportations of diplomats can go does not depend on Russia, the West should stop first.
