Cyprus authorities said Friday they arrested a Russian journalist for “security reasons,” prompting the Russian Foreign Ministry to demand a formal apology from the Cypriot government over the “provocation.” Cyprus state broadcaster CyBC quoted diplomatic sources as saying that the Russian journalist would be deported after his residency permit is revoked.
Russian news agency Ria Novosti identified the journalist as Alexander Gasyuk, of Rossiyskaya Gazeta newspaper. He is reported to have already flown back to Russia. The agency quoted a Russian Foreign Ministry statement saying that Gasyuk suffered a hand injury during his arrest and that another Russian diplomat at the scene was also injured. It added that Russia is awaiting an official apology from the Cypriot authorities.

US expels two Russian diplomats to retaliate for the expulsion of two American diplomats from MoscowThe Biden administration has ordered two Russian diplomats expelled from the United States in retaliation for the expulsion of two U.S. diplomats from Moscow last month.

Spokesman Matthew Miller said: “The department will not tolerate the Russian government’s pattern of harassment of our diplomats.'
