On July 3rd local time, the Russian Embassy in Washington posted a comment on Telegram's social media platform stating that in order to counter Russian diplomats, US intelligence agencies use mobile phones and even sow discord when dealing with personal daily life issues.
According to TASS on the 4th, the Russian diplomatic mission stated that "the US intelligence agency is using legal but despicable means to lure us into treason." From using mobile phones to stirring up personal daily life issues, the US is using all means to prevent diplomats who are far away from their homeland from effectively fulfilling their diplomatic duties.
"There are no traitors among us! Don't local US officials understand this yet?" The Russian diplomatic mission pointed out that they have always strictly complied with US laws, defended Russia's national interests, and worked hard to prevent anti Russian elements from completely ruining Russia US relations.
Several Russian diplomats have stated, "It is time for journalists who consider themselves experts in international relations to give up their participation and fulfill political commissions and do their job well."
The New York Times reported on the 3rd that as Russia US relations have developed into the most hostile state in recent decades, the Russian Embassy in Washington has become a special "battlefield" with various protests, spy games, and strange events occurring frequently.
In May of this year, Russian Ambassador to Washington Antonov stated that the CIA's attempt to recruit Russians through the release of promotional videos was a shameless provocation and part of a mixed war against Russia.
