Putin: 755 US diplomats must leave Russia
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRussian President Vladimir Putin says 755 US diplomats must leave the country, after Moscow announces it will expel American staff in retaliation for tough new sanctions from Washington.
The Russian foreign ministry had earlier demanded the US cut its diplomatic presence in Russia by September to 455 — the same number Moscow has in the US.
“More than a thousand people were working and are still working” at the US embassy and consulates, Putin says in an interview with Rossia-24 television. “755 people must stop their activities in Russia.”
