MOSCOW,
March 30. /TASS/. The United States forced Russia into taking retaliatory
measures following the expulsion of its diplomats, but Moscow remains open to
building good-natured relations with other countries, including the United
States.
"Russia
did not start any diplomatic wars," Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry
Peskov told the media.
"Russia was never the initiator of exchanges of
sanctions, expulsions of diplomats and so on," he said. "Russia was
forced to take retaliatory measures in response to unfriendly, unconstructive
and unlawful actions - in this particular case, the expulsion of our diplomats
and the closure of the consulate by Washington. Russia remains open to building
good-natured relations. We wish to have such relations."
