MOSCOW, December 20. /TASS/. When the new administration takes office, Russia will keep raising the question of its diplomatic property previously seized by the United States, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told the Izvestia daily.

In his words, the issue "cannot be closed unless we ensure <…> the return of all unlawfully seized objects of diplomatic property."

"We have worked on that, and we will keep working in the future. We remain focused on the issue, so the new administration should be prepared that that we will constantly ‘pester’ them in that regard. I don’t want to use this word, but this is exactly how it will look like," the high-ranking Russian diplomat added.
