Russia's flag flutters in front of the Russian Embassy in Tallinn Estonia
The expulsions of Russian diplomats have taken place before end of investigations and are result of meeting of European Council of 23 March, in which, judging by solidarity demonstrated, Theresa May convinced still partners of European Union that Moscow was involved in poisoning.
The Russian foreign ministry also gave Britain a month to cut its number of diplomatic staff in Russia to the same number as Russia has in Britain.
The Russian Foreign Ministry earlier on Friday summoned the ambassadors of the countries, which expelled Russian diplomats to express solidarity with the United Kingdom. It gave London a month to reduce its diplomatic personnel in Russian Federation.
In London, the Russian Embassy on Friday accused British authorities of "another blatant provocation", claiming they had searched an Aeroflot plane without proper permissions. She called the investigation a "trickery". The plane left London's Heathrow Airport for Moscow about three hours behind schedule.
The White House issued a statement saying Russia's decision to dispel the diplomats "marks a further deterioration" of the relationship between the two countries. It said Friday that London has a month to reduce its diplomatic personnel to the same number of diplomats that Russian Federation has in Britain.
Russian Federation has also been anxious that US President Donald Trump is planning military action against the Syrian Government over accusations of chemical weapons use during the country's long-running conflict.
Speaking to reporters Friday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov insisted that "Russia didn't start any diplomatic wars", and "remains open for developing good ties".
"We're reviewing our options", said State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert, who charged that the attack on the Skripals violated an global chemical weapons ban.
Russian Federation has accused Britain of failing to back up its accusations with evidence and refusing to share materials from the probe.
The Russian ministry of transport later said: "If there is no explanation, the Russian side will deem the actions towards our plane as illegal and also reserve the right to take similar action against British airlines".

Amid a Russia-West diplomatic dispute, envoys at the U.S. Consulate in St. Petersburg have paused for some pizza.
The United States and a range of Western countries are expelling around 130 Russian diplomats and Moscow has said its own measures will precisely mirror those actions.
