Moscow, Russia: Russia on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) announced the tit-for-tat expulsion of over 20 German diplomats following the 'mass' removal of Russian embassy staff from the country and accused Berlin of destroying ties.

Foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told state-run television Zvezda 'more than 20' German diplomats would have to leave.
