Russian Embassy in the US: US Seizure of Russian Diplomatic Property Is Illegal
On November 14, 2025, Washington time, the Russian Embassy in Washington issued a statement:
The act of the United States seizing diplomatic property of the Russian Federation in the United States is illegal, which directly violates the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, and also contradicts the understanding reached by President Putin and President Trump that they need to overcome the "toxic legacy" of previous years. During the period from 2016 to 2018, six pieces of Russian diplomatic property in the United States were actually seized by the United States.
