“Almost every day we receive threats, mostly in the form of letters and calls.
Diplomats feel psychological pressure on a daily basis,” he told Interfax.
According to Zakharov, the Consulate General informs law enforcement agencies in the United States and the Russian leadership about incoming threats.
Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov noted earlier that Russian diplomats in Washington are in a virtual blockade.
Antonov said that contacts with representatives of the US administration were reduced to technical ones, and in response to letters to members of the House of Representatives and the Senate of the US Congress with a proposal for a meeting, refusals come.
According to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, the United States refused to contact due to the fact that Russia came to the defense of the Russians in Ukraine.
