According to an employee of the school, now there is only a guard, and that the school allegedly decided to close, its representatives themselves have only learned from CNN.

the press service of the Department of education of the city of Moscow information about the closure of a school does not possess, and reviews on this subject could not give, due to the fact that the founders of this institution are foreign embassies.

Recall that, according to the American TV channel, the closing of schools for foreign students has become one of Russia’s retaliatory measures imposed on Thursday, December 29 sanctions from the United States. A new package of anti-Russian measures, in particular, involves the expulsion of 35 diplomats and their families.

according to CNN, employees of the American Embassy, in addition to the school was closed and access to the residence in the Silver forest.

neither American Nor Russian officials have not yet commented on this information. However, according to the U.S. state Department spokesman, us Department of state has familiarized themselves with CNN, but he “had nothing to add to earlier statements.”

the Reason for the introduction of the new package of sanctions against individuals, some Russian companies, as well as the FSB and the GRU were the accusations against Russia of meddling in the American elections and in the organization of cyber attacks on American servers. Moscow these accusations have been repeatedly rejected. Press Secretary of Vladimir Putin Dmitry Peskov said that Russia “will be given an adequate response” to new US actions. And according to the official representative of the Russian foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova, a list of responses will be announced on Friday, December 20.

the US President-Elect, Donald trump, known for his plans to normalize relations with Russia, against this background, announced a meeting with representatives of us intelligence.
