Russia proposes property return roadmap to the US

Russia has presented the United States with a roadmap for the reciprocal return of frozen diplomatic properties, according to the Russian ambassador to the US. This initiative aims to resolve the ongoing dispute over seized assets. The roadmap outlines a negotiation process for the return of six Russian diplomatic properties seized by the US between 2016 and 2018. Russia seeks access to these properties for inspection and damage assessment, as stated by Ambassador Alexander Darchiev. The US actions, including the closure of Russian consulates and trade missions, prompted retaliatory measures from Russia, such as restricting the US embassy's use of buildings and limiting staff.
