Russia kicked out 9 diplomats from Finland, the newest member of NATO. The move is in retaliation for Finland's expulsion of nine Russian diplomats last month. Russia has accused Finland of participating in intelligence missions in Moscow. They have also claimed Finland of pursuing a "confrontational" policy toward Moscow.
