The Russian Embassy will appeal to the State Department in connection with the article on "espionage"

This was announced by the Russian diplomatic mission on its Facebook page.

“Not a single fact or evidence of a violation by Russian citizens of US norms and laws has been cited by the authors. Moreover, a number of groundless accusations contained in the article against diplomats and members of their families pose a direct threat to their safety. We intend to seek clarification from the State Department in connection with the fact that such provocative publications can lead to acts of violence against embassy staff and their loved ones, ”the statement said.

As the embassy notes, this material demonstrates an “artificial and purely domestic political“ order ”to denigrate Russia and out of control sanction hysteria.”

The diplomatic mission suggests that certain circles in the Washington establishment simply cannot put up with the prospects of normalizing bilateral relations.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that media reports about the alleged use of dachas by Russian diplomats to spy on the FBI were fantastic.
