The Russian consulate general in Seattle has finally stopped its work. About this in an interview RIA News Consul Advisor Halit Aisin reported. According to him, representatives of the Russian consulate general notified the US State Department about the removal of things and the closure of the diplomatic mission.
Russian Foreign Minister
Aysin:
The leadership of the consulate general met with the Seattle State Department and indicated that the work of the consulate general was discontinued in accordance with the decision of the American authorities.
Today, as reported in the State Department, their representatives will inspect the premises of the Russian embassy in Seattle. The consulate office was located on the 25 floor of one of the local skyscrapers.
Recall that the formal reason for the expulsion of 60 Russian diplomats and the closure of the consulate in Seattle were the accusations made against Russia about the poisoning of the spy Sergei Skripal. So far, London has not provided any evidence in this case, and it will not present it for the simple reason that all this is just another anti-Russian provocation.
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced retaliatory measures: the closure of the American consulate in St. Petersburg.
