MOSCOW—Russia will expel two Greek diplomats in response to Athens’ decision to throw out two of Moscow’s envoys, Russian news agency RIA reported on Wednesday, citing a senior lawmaker.

Greek media reported earlier that Athens had decided to expel the Russian envoys and ban entry to another two over suspicions they had tried to undermine an agreement with neighboring Macedonia.
