Moscow will respond to the forthcoming new expulsion of Russian diplomats from the United States. This was stated by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, quoted by Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
"We have warned the Americans that in order to avoid further staff reductions there, we cannot fail to respond," he said, urging the United States to stop this policy. About 27 Russian diplomats with their families will have to leave the United States on January 30 next year. The same number of employees of the diplomatic mission will have to leave the United States by June 30, 2022, said Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov late Saturday night.
"Our diplomats are being persecuted. On January 30, a large group of my comrades will leave - 27 people with their families, and on June 30 - as many more," Antonov said.
