The U.S. State Department has until August 1 to comply with a ban on hiring foreign nationals at diplomatic missions in Russia
This statement was made by Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.
“In response to the hostile actions of the United States, the Russian leadership has decided to restrict, including a complete ban on hiring citizens of the Russian Federation and third countries by embassies and consular offices of unfriendly states”, – she said.
Zakharova said that the implementation of the ban will take time, so Moscow expects that the US embassies and consulates “will bring their personnel in line with the specified requirements no later than August 1”
