Russia told the United States to cut the number of its diplomats in Russia to 455 people, Sputnik reported on Friday.
"The total number of employees in US diplomatic and consular agencies in Russia will be cut to 455," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The move comes following the US Senate's approval of a new set of sanctions against Russia, Iran and North Korea, which is yet to be signed by President Donald Trump. The bill limits Trump's ability to lift the restrictions on Moscow.
Russia will give a "mirror response" should the United States introduce new unilateral measures to cut the numbers of Russian diplomats in the country.
Russia reserves the reciprocal right to respond to the latest sanctions bill passed in the US Senate by hitting US interests, the Russian ministry said.
