Russian diplomats managed to solve the problem by US authorities “The problems with the US bank have been solved through the efforts of the Russian Foreign Ministry and the Russian Embassy in the United States,” said Russian Consul General Alexander Zacharov.
At the end of April, Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov announced that Bank of America had closed the accounts of Russian consulates in Houston and New York. At the same time, other US banks refused to serve Russian diplomatic missions. Later, the US Citibank opened an account in New York for diplomats.
