Russia has expelled 45 Polish diplomats in response to Poland expelling the same number of Russians it said were spies with diplomatic cover.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said Monday that it summoned the Polish ambassador, Krzysztof Krajewski, and told him that the earlier expulsion by Poland was seen as "confirmation of Warsaw's conscious aspirations to completely destroy bilateral relations" between Poland and Russia .

Poland had expelled 45 people with diplomatic status on March 23, accusing them of being "Russian special services officers and their associates."
