The Russian Embassy in the United States said in a statement that Moscow won't respond with hysteria to the closure of three Russian missions in the country, Sputnik reports.
Russia interprets the US demand to shut down the Consulate General in San Francisco and two other diplomatic properties as an adverse decision, but will not respond with possible confrontation, according to the statement.
"We perceive the US administration's move as unfriendly," the Embassy said. "However, we are not going to respond with hysteria and possible confrontation."
The embassy noted that the US step will lead to "further deterioration of bilateral relations," especially in the sphere of economics.
"It will create problems for ordinary people and harm the economic cooperation of our countries."
