Russia has threatened US with expulsion of diplomats

The Ministry of foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation has warned the United States about the response to the diplomatic issue.

As the Associated Press reports, Russia may expel American diplomats if the diplomatic property of the Russian officials in the US will not be refunded.

Last year, in response to the alleged Russian interference in the elections of the President of the United States, the administration of former President Barack Obama sent 35 Russian officials from the country and shut down two Russian residence. About them, Barack Obama said that «they are used for spying».

Yesterday, the United States and Russia have resumed negotiations at the highest level to resolve differences on this issue between Washington and Moscow.

But, obviously, the parties are unable to reach a compromise, as today in the Russian foreign Ministry said that Moscow «reserves the right of retaliation if Russian property is not returned».
