Lavrov said US ambassador Jon Huntsman has been summoned to the foreign ministry, where he was given notice that Russia is responding quid pro quo to the US decision to order 60 Russian diplomats out. The expelled officials include 58 from the US embassy in Moscow and two from its consulate in Ekaterinburg. Lavrov said Moscow will also respond to the US decision to shut the Russian consulate in Seattle by closing the US consulate in St Petersburg. The same approach will be applied to other nations that expelled Russian diplomats this week, he added. Facebook Twitter Pinterest Yulia Skripal is said to be no longer in a critical condition.
