The Embassy of the Russian Federation in the United States, after the announcement of the closure of the Russian Consulate General in Seattle, offers to vote on its Twitter on the question of which American Consulate General in Russia readers will propose to close as a retaliatory measure.
"Which U.S. Consulate General in Russia would you close if you could make such a decision?" the embassy said on Twitter.
It is offered to choose the Consulate General in Yekaterinburg, Vladivostok and St. Petersburg.
Already 14.5 thousand people were able to vote, the results are not yet available. The post has been retweeted nearly a thousand times, with about 800 comments.
