As she told the radio station "Moscow speaking", the number of Russians who were excluded from the US sanctions list is "symmetrical", that is, in exchange for consent to Nuland's visit, the US excluded one Russian citizen from its lists.

At the same time, Zakharova did not specify the identity of the Russian who was excluded from their American sanctions list.

Earlier, a spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry said that Nuland was allowed to visit Moscow in exchange for removing the Russians from the US sanctions list.

At the same time, she did not specify the number of persons removed from the list.

On October 9, the Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed an agreement with American colleagues on Nuland's visit to Moscow.
