Russia is to tell Italy's Ambassador to Moscow Giorgio Starace that it has decided to expel 24 Italian diplomats, Ria Novosti quoted the Russian foreign ministry as saying on Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, ANSA sources said Starace had been summoned to the foreign ministry.
Italy expelled 30 Russian diplomats "for reasons of national security" in April.
