UPDATE:

Russia goes after U.S. for 'blunt act of hostility'

BY REBECCA SAVRANSKY - 09/03/17 08:39 AM EDT

Russia on Sunday went after the U.S. following the Trump administration's order that Russia shutter a consulate in San Francisco and annexes in Washington and New York.

In a statement, the Russian foreign ministry called the order from the U.S. a "blunt act of hostility."

“We urge American authorities to change their minds and return Russian diplomatic facilities immediately,” it said on its website, according to Reuters.

The Trump administration last week ordered that the three properties be closed.
The move was framed as a response "in the spirit of parity" after the Russian government's order that the U.S. cut down the number of diplomatic personnel in Russia.
