The Russian Foreign Ministry on Friday announced a series of retaliatory measures, including expulsions of diplomats and entry bans, in response to the recent "hostile actions" of the United States.
Russia will ask 10 US diplomats and five Polish ones to leave the country, the ministry said in a statement.
Russia will limit the use of the US embassy's short-term assignments through the State Department to ensure the functioning of diplomatic missions, by reducing the issuance of such visas to at most 10 people per year.
