Russia hit back on Friday after a new round of US sanctions imposed a day ago by the Biden administration following the SolarWinds cyberattack and election meddling from the Kremlin.

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said 10 American diplomats would be expelled from Russia, mirroring the 10 Russian diplomats who were ordered to leave the United States on Thursday. Moscow will also add eight US officials to its sanctions list and limit the activities of US non-governmental organizations, or NGOs, operating in Russia.

“Washington should realize that it will have to pay the price for the deterioration of bilateral relations,” he said, indicating that Moscow was ready, if necessary, to move to “painful measures” against US trade interests in Russia.

The Kremlin has denied any interference in the US presidential elections or any involvement in the SolarWind hack.

Lavrov suggested that US Ambassador to Russia John Sullivan follow the lead of his Russian counterpart, Anatoly Antonov, and return home for consultations.

The tit-for-tat exchange of sanctions follows President Biden’s decree on Thursday of new economic sanctions targeting Moscow.

The latest White House sanctions came in response to findings by the US intelligence community that Kremlin-linked actors were responsible for the cyberattack on US tech company SolarWinds. This attack resulted in the unintentional distribution of hacker code by SolarWinds via software updates to its customers around the world, ultimately reaching US government networks.

Thursday’s sanctions were also linked to what the US intelligence community believes to be Russian interference in the 2020 US presidential election after similar findings on the 2016 race.

Biden said Thursday that the United States was not pushing for “a cycle of escalation and conflict” with Russia, but rather wanted the two nations to manage tensions and work together when needed.

“My bottom line is this, where it is in the best interests of the United States to work with Russia, we should and we will. If Russia seeks to violate the interests of the United States, we will respond.” , Biden said. “We will always defend our country, our institutions, our people and our allies.”

The White House also reiterated that it was open to a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Despite the heightened tensions between the two countries, Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday that it was “good” that Biden wanted a dialogue, even as he criticized new US sanctions.

Peskov said Putin “has repeatedly said that we are ready to develop our dialogue as long as our counterparts are ready for it,” he said.

“It is indeed good that the views of the two heads of state coincide on this matter,” Peskov said.
