VLADIMIR Putin has warned he is ready to make the “final decision” on how Russia will respond to the mass expulsion of Russian diplomats from the West.
Putin’s spokesman warned a decision taken by western states to expel Russian diplomats is a “mistake” following the booting out of 129 across the world – including 60 from the US.
The Kremlin branded the move “provocative” and putting the world on a “confrontational path”.
Russia now waits as Putin – who elected to serve as president for another six years last Sunday – readies to make the “final decision” on how his nation will respond to the West.
