JAKARTA - Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has confirmed that Moscow will not recognize US citizenship imposed on members of the families of Russian diplomats working in the United States.
"Russia does not recognize the imposition of US citizenship on Russian citizens born to families of our diplomatic, administrative-technical, and consular personnel in the US," Zakharova wrote in an article for the Russian newspaper Vedomosti, as reported by ANTARA from Sputnik, Monday, May 4.
"The arbitrary granting of US citizenship to the children of Russian diplomats potentially gives Washington leverage to pressure Russian mission personnel abroad," the spokesperson added.
"What if a child is abducted under the pretext, for example, of child law or the need to verify gender conformity as part of another wave of new rules? We have seen many such examples," Zakharova said.
