Moscow demands return of all Russian diplomatic properties in US
Moscow insists on the return of all six Russian diplomatic facilities seized by the United States, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday, according to TASS agency.
"We insist on the return of all six facilities of Russian property seized by the US," the diplomat stressed.
According to Zakharova, Russian representatives are not allowed to these facilities even to check the work of utility systems. The US officials have recommended many times that Russia should sell this property, she noted.
"We expect that the global community will pay attention to this actual state robbery to which the US authorities have downgraded themselves," Zakharova stressed, as quoted by the agency.
To remind, in September 2017, the Donald Trump administration closed the Russian Consulate General in San Francisco, the Russian trade mission in Washington and its branch in New York. The consulate and trade mission are Russia's state property and have diplomatic immunity.
