Russian Foreign Affairs announced that Moscow had informed the Government of the United States of changes in the system of movement of U.S. Embassy staff and consulates in Russian territory.

"We will soon take new action in response to the sanctions," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said yesterday Sunday.

In a statement, Zakharova explained: The consideration of preparing the list of "unfriendly States" was the result of the unfriendly actions of the United States of America, including the imposition of new sanctions against Russia and the expulsion of Russian diplomats for no reason.

Last month, Russian Foreign Affairs announced that it had withdrawn Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov for consultation and assessment of the prospects for relations with Washington, noting that Moscow was interested in preventing further deterioration of relations with the United States.
