In response, Russia expelled 10 US diplomats, banned top US officials from entering the country, and banned the US embassy from appointing foreign nationals.

In recent months, tensions between Russia and the West have increased on various issues, including the creation of Russian troops on the Ukraine border, interference in US elections, and other hostile activities.
