Russia has ordered the United States to cut its diplomatic staff in Moscow by September 1 and said it was seizing a dacha compound and warehouse used by US diplomats in retaliation for new US sanctions against Moscow.
Russia’s retaliation, outlined in a statement from the Foreign Ministry, came a day after the US Senate voted to slap new sanctions on Russia.
The Russian Foreign Ministry also warned the US it would respond in kind if Washington decided to expel any Russian diplomats. (NAN)
