“The US move is absolutely adequate outright blatant step of the Russian Federation against evictions 755 diplomats from Russia. There will not be any issuance of visas. It is planned only in Moscow, but remember my words, that September 1, visas will not be issued in Moscow. And, of course, today, everyone, including Russian citizens, will feel the effects of the reign of the “Putin regime”. Because when someone starts to say that Russia will introduce retaliatory sanctions – dreamed of the Americans those Russian visa 300 years”, – said Shkiryak.
