Russia to revenge if US doesn’t reopen Russian properties

Russia’s Foreign Ministry says, it would expel US diplomats and shut some US compounds in Russia if the United States does not reopen two Russian recreational estates in the US shut down last year.

President Donald Trump, and Vladimir Putin, discussed the two diplomatic compounds but did not reach an agreement last week at the G20.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters that, Moscow “will have to take reciprocal measures” if the issue is not resolved.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov and US Undersecretary of State Tom Shannon are scheduled to meet on Monday for talks, that Moscow abruptly cancelled last month in response to new Ukraine-related sanctions announced by the Trump administration.

Russia is hoping that Shannon will have “detailed suggestions on how to resolve the situation” with the Russian property in the US, Zakharova said.
