WASHINGTON, March 31. /TASS/. The Russian side is considering a lawsuit against the US over the Russian diplomatic properties blocked on the American territory in a package with other issues and President Vladimir Putin has issued an appropriate instruction for this, the Russian Ambassador to the US, Anatoly Antonov, told a group of Russian reporters on Friday.

"We’ve sent everything that’s related to the incidents involving Russian diplomatic properties to our Foreign Ministry and I think they’re considering the issue in a package with earlier problems around Russian diplomatic properties," he said.

"We have received instructions from the President [Vladimir Putin] in this connection," Antonov said.
