In the second position of Ekaterinburg with 36% of voters. The last place with 19% left for Vladivostok. Will the government of Russia to the results of this vote when adopting retaliatory measures, which the foreign Ministry said today, is unknown.
We will remind that on 26 Mar 14 countries announced the decision to expel Russian diplomats in solidarity with the position of great Britain regarding the case of poisoning in Salisbury. The United Kingdom considers Russia responsible for this attack. Among the States that are going to send diplomats of the Russian Federation, Canada, Germany, France, USA, Poland and others.
The Russian foreign Ministry has stated that these actions are unfounded. The press release talks about a blind adherence to the principle of Euro-Atlantic unity «to the detriment of common sense«. The government has promised to respond to the restrictions «mirror image», but on specific decisions not yet announced.
