Outside the Russian Federation, ”the representative of the diplomatic mission announced on Monday.
“The US Embassy in Moscow reduced the volume of consular services, leaving only services in emergency services for citizens of the United States. Immigration statements related to vital emergency situations, as well as immigration statements, which expires the deadline for the age of the applicant, are considered in a limited number. This measure is necessary due to the statement of the Russian authorities of April 23 of the intention to prohibit the American Mission in Russia to hire foreign citizens to any position, ”the embassy added.
