The United States on Monday said it is expelling 12 Russian diplomats in New York, an act Russia's ambassador to the United Nations described as "hostile."
Olivia Dalton, a spokeswoman for the U.S. mission to the United Nations, accused the diplomats of "engaging in espionage activities that are adverse to our national security" and said they "abused their privileges of residency in the U.S." The expulsions were in "the works for several months," she added, and not because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

As I remember this used to happen on a regular basis. They kicked out part of our staff a week or two ago so this is "tit for tat."

A country that invades another without cause and kills its people and destroys infrastructure considers expulsion of diplomats as hostile? Not equivalent.
