Member states are said to be considering a range of measures - including expelling diplomats - to take effect on Monday.
France, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Denmark and the Czech Republic have all warned of further action.
Some people are STILL waiting for proof about Hitler !!!!

The Russian Embassy in the US has suggested that Russian diplomats may be "guilty" of snowfalls in the US because of the general tendency to blame Russia for everything.
Looking at ITK's list of 'usual suspects' - the logic of each is crystal clear
Latvia for example (not a major footballing nation) would hardly support Russia's morris dancing team
Bearing in mind their histories - which includes the forceable annexation of one by the other
For want of a better expression...

Many of the countries mentioned have good reason to sabre-rattle - like Ireland, who just want to show how strongly they stand behind the UK.
But only for Brexit purposes, because Ireland has major commercial links with Russia - who have a powerful mafia, based in posh Dublin 4.
For example, Shannon Airport could shut down without Russian support. All Russian aircraft refuel there (usually in the middle of the night) on the way to Cuba etc.
In Shannon also, the Russians have a large private area - with massive hangers - which has been the subject of great media scrutiny.
Very soon, Ireland will become very quite on this issue - like all relevant others...
