Russia advises U.S. ambassador John Sullivan to go home for consultations - Ifax

MOSCOW, April 16 (Reuters) - The Kremlin has suggested that John Sullivan, the U.S. ambassador to Russia, return home for consultations amid a serious diplomatic crisis between Moscow and Washington, the Interfax news agency reported.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov disclosed the suggestion to Sullivan during a news conference during which he said Moscow would ask 10 U.S. diplomats to leave the country in retaliation for Washington's expulsion of the same number of Russian diplomats over alleged malign activity.
