Russia ready to retaliate after diplomatic conflict ends without a deal!

MOSCOW, Russia (PNN) - July 18, 2017 - Shortly after CNN reported late on Monday that according to Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Alexeyevich Ryabkov, the Russian government was almost at a deal on getting back property seized by the Fascist Police States of Amerika.

Ryabkov rejected the report, instead saying that the FPSA must return the seized properties after diplomatic talks in Washington ended without a deal, with the Russian Foreign Ministry saying that Moscow reserved the right to take "retaliatory measures" against the Fascist Police States of Amerika. The ongoing diplomatic conflict regards the December 2016 seizure by Barack Obama of two Russian diplomatic compounds and the expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats over what he said was their involvement in hacking the 2016 FPSA presidential election campaign.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov discussed the illegal seizure by the FPSA of its diplomatic properties near New York and Washington at talks with Undersecretary of State Thomas Shannon on Monday.

Meanwhile, Ryabkov said that Russia could impose retaliatory measures soon if the FPSA does not return the seized property. Recounting his talks with Shannon in Washington on Monday, he noted that Moscow finds unacceptable the FPSA position that it seized the Russian diplomatic compounds in Maryland in New York in December 2016 legally. "The longer the (FPSA) persists, the less likely a solution could be found that does not infringe on interests, including theirs," said Ryabkov.

Ryabkov also said that the date of his next meeting with Shannon depends on progress with the seized diplomatic property. "There is an understanding that contacts at this level and in this format will be continued. We will agree on the date as the situation becomes clearer around our diplomatic property and as the (FPSA) side's reaction to our ideas comes in."

Ryabkov added that the agenda of his meeting with Shannon was not solely centered around the issue of Russia’s diplomatic property in the FPSA; there were signals that Moscow and Washington could work more constructively on certain issues.

"The agenda of the meeting was much broader. There is evident intent of Moscow and Washington to broaden their common stances on some issues and to work more constructively than before. We conveyed certain specific ideas on these questions to the FPSA side and will wait for its reaction."

Russia said it also wanted to resume regular dialogue with the Fascist Police States of Amerika about strategic stability, saying it was up to Washington to make a move on the issue.
