| Russia’s President Vladimir V. Putin |
Russia’s President Vladimir V. Putin while talking today in
a television interview on the Rossiya 1 network, indicated that the United State
must reduce the number of workers at American diplomatic posts all over Russia by
755 effective September 1 2017.
In announcing the retaliatory action against the United States,
Putin noted that Russia’s patience in waiting for improved relations with the
United States had worn out. The action escalates
the tensions between Washington and Moscow.
The retaliation is in response to new sanctions under
consideration in US Congress over Russia’s meddling in the 2016 US
elections. It will be recalled that in December
2016, the Obama administration also imposed sanctions against Russia for
meddling in the presidential election which included seizing two Russian
diplomatic compounds located in the United States. Russia objected to US
actions vigorously saying it was egregious, but did not retaliate at the time because of alleged assurances
made by Trump's National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was forced to
resign earlier this year.
