Polish journalist to be expelled from Russia in response to Warsaw's steps - Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson

MOSCOW. Dec 18 (Interfax) - The expulsion of a Polish journalist from Russia is a symmetrical measure in response to Poland's decision to deprive a Russian journalist working in Poland of his accreditation and residence permit, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said.

"In this context, Russia has taken symmetrical measures in line with the law and, based on the reciprocity principle, has deprived Gazeta Wyborcza journalist Waclaw Radziwinowicz, who worked in Russia, of accreditation," Zakharova said on Facebook on Friday.
