The Ambassador of the United States to Russia John Sullivan spoke about this in an interview with Dozhd TV channel.

"After August 1, we will have very few people working here, which is why we will not be able to provide consular services, which, as I know, both Americans and Russians need," he said.

Earlier, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that next week the Russian and American sides will discuss visa issues and the work of foreign missions.
