The US has accused the Russian government of removing special reserved parking places for American staff outside of US diplomatic facilities in Moscow.
The move which has also been discussed by Russian media is thought to be a retaliatory measure, albeit a small one, in the aftermath of the US kicking Russian diplomats and their staff out of consular facilities in New York, Washington D.C. and San Francisco.
According to a spokesman for the US Department of State,
“We can confirm that the parking spaces, previously reserved for the US consular personnel, have been removed. We will raise the issue with the Russian Foreign Ministry”.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has not yet commented on the issue.

LOL. Good luck finding a parking space in central Moscow.
Unfair! The exceptional people only give out consequences! They can’t receive them! To do same is an insult to intrinsic, sacred narcissism!
LOL, and a slap to exceptionalism. The NERVE!!!
God that looks so funny. Nice piece of CGI I presume.
I wonder… maybe it’s NOT CGI. 😉
I do love the photo though.
Me too, and I’d love to discover Russia really did do that. It looks so funny.
Looks even more funny if you think of that yellow clamp as a parking ticket for a T-34 crew. :))
Nah. That’s to make sure the Yanks can’t move it away!!
Hermann Hoth and Werner Kempf also thought those T-34s were CGI back in July 1943 in the Kursk outskirts. But, general Zhukov prove them wrong!
Well these days, with what they can do with photo’s you are not being unreasonable I think to suspect that such a photo might be a construct. It’s very funny either way.
I should add, I should so like to think it was for real, and Russia really did go park a tank in a US embassy parking space.
Why don’t you go there and see for your self instead shooting your mouth off.Write an story about it and how CGiesh it is.
You are ridiculous with that kind of comments.
Dark Eyes your eyes are dark and can not see and your ears are deaf and you can not hear, so again read and learn not what your western propaganda is telling you. The idiot that was killing and organizing uprising in Chechnya at least in part is in Ukraine now.Even your pres is calling it fake news…
Dear Isabella, sorry you get me wrong. It was more in sarcastic manner, not particular to you but to everyone. Simply, I like to recall victorious history. 2000km of front went under Soviet control after the Battle of Kursk. :)) Let’s pray not anyone even think about Drang Nach Osten ever. Cheers!!
No worries Mr. Cigar.
Good for Russia! Make things as difficult for them as they make it for Russian diplomats. Show them that there are consequences for their actions.
All Together! AAAAWWWWW!
Other news:
Russia will not pay the 11 million euro ($12.39 million) fee to participate in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), until the right to vote for Russian delegation is restored.
For that money, quite a normal and decent demand by Russian Federation.
US consular personnel can use Moscow public transportation. The metro is quite convenient (and awesome), like Mayakovskaya Metro Station

That… is an absolute masterpiece of an Artwork Train Station. I wish we had places like that in Australia. Mayakovskaya train station certainly something to be proud of.
It’s an underground palace, fit for kings 🙂 In this particular case, the “king” is the people.

Humm.. Moscow Underground public transportation is only for the moujicks ?? We are a exceptional people ??
This is phantastic, rich and beautiful.
The US fatsos will now have to walk. My heart bleeds!
Let them have heart attacks by doing that.
There, there, you devastate whole countries, get 4 million muslims killed and what do you get as a thank you? You loose your parking space.
LIke mosquito in your tent when you want to sleep.
Yes, then you get out of tent and burn it down with a gasoline. Easy way.
LOL so funny
The American Way.
And afterwards saying: Blimey, me tent is gone, where is me bloody tent?
Gone with the wind 🙂
Fight Fire With Fire!
So said the badly burned American who threw petrol on a fire. 🙂
…mispronouncing the word Water…
In the now Orwellian USA, “War is Peace” and Petrol is Water.
…Freedom Is Slavery…
Ha,ha
Haha! Hope they won’t have too far to walk. (Not!)
This is small potatoes compared to what the US has done to Russia. I love seeing that tank on the sidewalk with a no tow foot on it. It’s priceless.
Walk, guys… Sell your vehicle and walk. That’s excellent for one’s health, more particularly if one is obese…
Poor dear exceptional…They will “raise the issue with the Russian Foreign Ministry”. Lol Our exceptional really like to look and act like fools.
A number of дщсфд Russian entrepreneurs have already opened a few services on the parking spaces so the US embassy staff don’t have to travel too far to get basic provisions…
На здоровье!

waa. waa. waa American crybabies.
Great picture!
That isn’t enough.
Yep. This is what happens when you act like an international A hole! Like Russia sticking its tongue out at US provocations. Russia and China have bigger fish to fry than playing these hubris games. They are busy building world institutions that will eliminate the dollar as petro-currency. And there isn’t a thing US can do about this; except nuke the world.
