Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov assured that Russia will work out retaliatory measures on the actions of the United States on diplomatic capacity, writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

At the same time, the Russian Foreign Minister stressed: "We are thinking about concrete steps now, and I do not think that it is necessary to discuss it publicly, with all due respect to the media, to your desire to receive information".

Lavrov added: "The situation is outrageous. I believe that this is for such a great country as the United States, a champion of international law - it's just a shame to leave the situation in such a limbo state ".

He also stressed that "justice and international law must be restored".

The Minister noted that in Moscow "understand the Russophobic charge of the congress" of the United States in connection with the issue of diplomatic capacity.

Let's remind, it is a question of two diplomatic summer residences in states New York and Maryland which in the end of last year was closed by administration of Obama - within the limits of sanctions against Moscow. Russian diplomats had to leave home.

In May this year, Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov said that Moscow expects concrete steps from Washington to return diplomatic property, but Russia's patience is not unlimited.
