Russia has threatened to lower the level of diplomatic relations with the United States

The Deputy Foreign Minister stressed that Russia remains very consistent on this issue. He noted that retaliatory measures will be determined based on the actions of the enemy. Reducing diplomatic relations is one of the response options. Russia is now studying the optimal form of reaction, where among the countermeasures there are also actions against the assets of Western opponents and where there are diplomatic measures, he explained. However, Ryabkov clarified that no decisions have been made yet, because there are no decisions on the part of the United States.

Earlier it became known that Germany froze Russian assets worth about €3.9 billion. The German Ministry of Finance told RBC this, noting that the decision to confiscate them and transfer them to Ukraine must meet legal standards, the telegram channel reports “Radio station NSN”.
