Russia-US row: Putin rules out tit-for-tat expulsion of diplomats

The Russian Foreign Ministry has called for the expulsion of 35 US diplomats in response to a similar move by Washington.
 
Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov said the request had been made to President Vladimir Putin. 

The Obama administration expelled 35 Russian diplomats and their families over alleged Russian hacking during the US election campaign.

Russia has denied any involvement and calls the US action ungrounded.
