<br/><br/> A global effort to expel more than 100 Russian officials from 22 countries has challenged the Kremlin over its suspected role in the 4 March nerve agent attack on former intelligence agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury, UK. The UK government initiated the wave of evictions on 14 March, by giving 23 Russian diplomats one week to leave, but the movement gained momentum on 26 March, when US President Donald Trump ordered 48 diplomats from the Russian embassy in Washington and 12 personnel from the Kremlin's United Nations Mission to leave the United States.
