“In a rare break from the diplomatic tradition of reciprocal punishment, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday he would not deport U.S. diplomats in a tit-for-tat response to U.S. hacking sanctions, as Russia looks to cultivate relations with the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump,” the Washington Post reports.
Said Putin: “We won’t create problems for American diplomats.”
He added that he would “plan further steps for restoring the Russian-American relationship based on the policies enacted by the administration of President Donald Trump.”
