Director of the North America Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry Alexander Darchiev said that Moscow is responding to the actions of the parties in relation to its diplomatic missions in the United States and Canada for the purpose of “an eye for an eye”, but not necessarily symmetrically. This is reported Interfax.
He noted that this also applies to ensuring the normal functioning of the diplomatic missions of the two states.
According to Darchiev, in Washington and Ottawa, at the level of a reflex level of law, any restrictive measure against Russian foreign missions will result in the same labor relations for their diplomatic missions in Russia, which they do not yet want to close.
At the end of January 2022, the Russian diplomatic mission in the United States was shortened another 27 diplomats. The Russian message mentions cases of hostile steps against Moscow. Over the past four years, more than 120 representatives of the Russian diplomatic mission who are in the embassy have been expelled from the United States.
