Ambassadors of the United States, Great Britain and Canada were summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry. They were summoned in connection with "gross interference in the internal affairs of Russia" and activities that do not correspond to diplomatic status.

The British ambassador to Moscow, Deborah Bronnert, was protested by the Russian foreign Ministry. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia expressed a strong protest to the US ambassador because of statements in support of publicist Vladimir Kara-Murza. The Russian foreign ministry warned that employees of the American embassy in Moscow, who violate the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and abuse their status, will end their stay in the Russian capital ahead of schedule.
