Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed legislation sanctioning countries that are not friendly to the country.
The bill contained measures to limit or ban the hiring of Russians by embassies and institutions in Russia in countries that have committed unfriendly acts.
President Putin ordered a list of unfriendly countries to which the law would apply, Reuters reported.
This law was put into effect as the conflict between Russia and Western countries worsened, and the New Cold War current was detected.
On the 15th, the United States sanctioned Russian companies, government agencies, and individuals and expelled 10 diplomats due to Russia's intervention in the US presidential election last year and massive hacking.
Russia rebelled the next day by expelling 10 US diplomats in Russia.
The Czech Republic also kept pace with the United States and expelled 18 Russian diplomats in the country on the 17th.
The Czech Republic says they are secret Russian agents and were involved in an explosion in the Czech Republic in 2014.
The next day, Russia notified 20 Czech diplomats in their country to leave the country within 24 hours, and set fire.
Poland and Bulgaria also joined forces with Russia to expel diplomats, which raised the level of tension in Eastern Europe.
