MOSCOW, Feb 7 — Russia has demanded the US embassy in Moscow stop spreading what Moscow regards as fake news regarding its military operation in Ukraine and has threatened to expel US diplomats, the TASS news agency reported today.

Citing a senior Russian foreign ministry source, TASS said an official note had been delivered to the US embassy in Moscow warning it that US diplomats engaged in what it called “subversive activities” would be expelled.
