Nebenzia termed this action by the US as "sad news".Nebenzia said this is sad news and another demonstration of gross disrespect of the course Country Agreement to their commitments, adding that it is within the framework of their obligations on the UN Charter, the host country agreement, and Vienna Conventions.Meanwhile, in a statement, US Mission to the United Nations Spokesperson Olivia Dalton said, the United States has informed the United Nations and the Russian Permanent Mission to the United Nations that the US is beginning the process of expelling twelve intelligence operatives from the Russian Mission who have "abused their privileges" of residency in the United States by engaging in "espionage activities" that are adverse to our national security."We are taking this action in accordance with the UN Headquarters Agreement.
