Russia responds to US sanctions! Declares "non-women" 10 American

In response to sanctions imposed by Washington yesterday banning US firms from buying Russian bonds, Moscow has responded by expelling 10 US diplomats from its territory and instructing its ambassador to the US to return to Moscow for consultations.

The escalation of the cold conflict between the two countries is unexpected, as just a few days ago US President Joe Biden and his Russian counterpart Putin discussed over the phone and shared the common goal of normalizing the situation in Ukraine. In the same conversation, there was also an invitation from Biden for a joint summit to address problematic issues in bilateral relations, although the Kremlin has not officially responded to this invitation.

Following the expulsion of the American diplomats, the Russian Foreign Ministry returned to diplomatic language: "Now is the time for the United States to demonstrate that it has good will and to deviate from its confrontational path. "Otherwise we will have to make other decisions that will be detrimental to America."

The US has not yet given an official response to the Kremlin, but it has also summoned its ambassador to Moscow, John Sullivan, for further consultations on the position to be taken.
