Moscow and Washington are close to reaching an agreement on the return of Russian diplomatic compounds seized by the US. In an interview with Sputnik, political analyst Dmitry Yevstafyev said that Russia’s firm stand on the matter was yielding good results.
“Not only aren’t they giving back our diplomatic property, they are also putting forward conditions for its return, which are absolutely unacceptable, either politically or legally. I still believe that our firm position is the only reason why Washington is now wrapping up its very negative and very indecent media and political campaign around the Russian diplomatic property. I see this as a very important precedent for the future,” Yevstafyev said.
He added that the American side would have to make certain concessions on the issue.
“I think that they will have to do this because if they don’t the conflict will start to snowball. My feeling is that the Russian side is morally prepared for a tit-for-tat response and even more than that. It has everything it needs to do this,” Yevstafyev noted.
