The USA confirmed the data on the requirement for 24 diplomats of the Russian Federation to leave the country

56

Information about Washington's reduction of the situation to the fact that 24 Russian diplomats were actually forced to leave the country at once was confirmed. This information was announced in an interview with the American edition of The National Interest by the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the United States of America Anatoly Antonov. Russian diplomatic representatives will leave the United States today - August 3.

According to Anatoly Antonov, almost everyone will leave for Russia without replacement. The reasons for this situation are also named.



It turned out that these diplomats will not be able to continue their work in the United States due to the fact that the American authorities have sharply tightened the procedure for issuing visas.

The ambassador noted that the United States continues the practice of "squeezing out Russian diplomatic staff."

At the same time, experts note that at the moment the Russian Federation is not taking any countermeasures. So far, there is no talk of the expulsion of an equal number of American diplomatic personnel.

Washington commented on the situation, calling it "purely technical." Thus, according to the US State Department spokesman Ned Price, Russian diplomats "must apply to the State Department to extend long-term visas." Valid visas will expire soon. At the same time, the question regarding each diplomat is going to be resolved by the US authorities on an “individual basis”. This may lead to the fact that the visa may be expired, after which entry into the United States for Russian diplomatic personnel may be completely prohibited (based on American laws).

As the visa issue for the 24 diplomats has not yet been considered, Price said they will have to leave the United States.

              It is counterproductive to negotiate with them. When they are in burnout, only in this case they try to follow the agreement, but as soon as the positions are compared, they spit on all agreements. They just always need to be kept tense, and without a contract.

      I don't understand something else: the United States stopped issuing visas in Russia, who need American visas, they are forced to go to other countries for them. Taking into account the covid restrictions, it became impossible for Russians to obtain American visas from the word "in general", which seriously affected, for example, our sailors, which crewing companies began to get rid of in favor of Ukrainians and Poles, who do not have such a problem. However, American consulates and embassies in Russia are not closed; they continue to carry out subversive activities among non-governmental and public organizations. This begs the question: "Since American consulates and embassies do not issue visas to Russians, why do they need them?" "Why aren't they completely closed?" Usually, in such a situation, the consulates and embassies of a hostile country are completely closed, and diplomatic rights in relations between countries are delegated to the embassies of neutral countries. But Russia is not doing this with the United States. Why? The Americans closed all the diplomatic institutions of Russia in their country, except for one, not only were they closed, but in fact taken away, and in Russia the US consulates continue to function, albeit with a limited number of personnel. They must be closed immediately.

          - Vasily Ivanovich, how did you cope with the problem of shortage of goods?

      The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs would be more jawed. And work more quickly. This message about, let's be honest, the expulsion of Russian diplomats "in soft packaging" did not appear yesterday. So it was immediately necessary to present the return line. And it would not hurt to shake up the Russian "elite" too. "Either there or here", stop making money here, and invest money there.

      Take your time, if only because American diplomatic institutions are more vulnerable in our country than ours in Washington and New York. Therefore, the question is now being studied of how to make them more painful, but at the same time comply with international agreements, so that there is not something to complain about. As a rule, within a month and will be made a statement about the response. So it is not necessary to boil ahead of time, and it is generally unreasonable to hit first, at least because Biden is now not in the best shape due to insanity, and he does not care at all, including our diplomats.

      I think you are wrong. Already in the field of diplomatic "battles", the Russian Federation has learned to give back to the United States. It was so painful for the last time that the diplomats of the State Department do not want to give visas to Russians on the basis of their words. They will find something to answer. IMHO.

    If the Russian Foreign Ministry does not send an equal number of US diplomats by September 3, the US State Department will decide that it has found the right tactics in diplomatic relations with Russia and will continue unilateral pressure. And if Russia responds and leads to a break in diplomatic relations with the United States, inviting Chinese diplomats to represent the interests of Russia, then there will be a chance that a thaw in relations with the United States will begin with the opening of a consulate in San Francisco and in response to the lifting of the ban on the late McCain from visiting Russia.

    In principle, it's okay. Visas can also be issued online to both countries if they do not want to see each other and communicate. Business people can communicate and negotiate via skype or telegram. Relatives are already chatting on the Internet and in smartphones every day. The military also has a connection between the commanders.
    Maybe it's time to start a relationship from scratch? Sit down and think about what we need from the United States, and the United States what they need from Russia. After the October Revolution, there was no relationship for a while, and nothing somehow survived and came to some kind of decision, a compromise.
    For some reason, at all times we climb with our peacefulness, help, gas, oil, timber, moralizing, push hard-earned money into foreign banks, which will never return from there. Our government, the oligarchs definitely need to be checked for adequacy by psychiatrists.
    If the United States does not even allow diplomats to enter the UN, create its own UN according to the version of China and Russia.
    Not expressing concern and mocking America, but silently create their own world around them.
