MOSCOW — Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Friday that Moscow will order 10 U.S. diplomats to leave Russia in a retaliatory response to the U.S. sanctions.
Lavrov also said that 8 U.S. officials will be added to its sanctions list and move to restrict and stop the activities of American nongovernment organizations from interfering in Russia’s politics.

The moves follow a barrage of new sanctions on Russia announced this week by the Biden administration. The U.S. on Thursday ordered 10 Russian diplomats expelled, targeted dozens of companies and people, and imposed new curbs on Russia's ability to borrow money.
Comment:
No big deal the use of "Personna Non Grata" (PNG) is used on a normal basis in the world of Diplomacy. This is just aa response in kind to Biden's recent use of the PNG with Russian Diplomats. The Russians soon be replaced with new GRU intel officers as a normal rotation.
