Message to U.S. Citizens: U.S. Mission Russia (October 13, 2021)

Location: Russia

Event: Status Update on Consular Report of Birth Abroad Services

Due to the Russian government's forced reduction of our consular workforce and the resulting staffing shortage, American Citizen Services are available only on an emergency basis in Moscow.

We encourage U.S. citizens seeking citizenship services to schedule appointments with neighboring U.S. embassies and consulates. We regret the inconvenience that the suspension in services has caused. Please be aware that processing times may be longer than normal.

U.S. citizens seeking to register the birth of their child in Russia may apply at the United States embassies in Riga, Tallinn, or Tbilisi. These embassies are authorized to accept and adjudicate Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) applications for children born in Russia. U.S. citizens may also apply for CRBAs at any U.S. embassy or consulate. U.S. citizens are subject to host country entry requirements, including COVID-19 restrictions. Check each embassy's COVID-19 page for updated information on entry restrictions.

More bad news. Don't expect the Moscow Embassy to go back to normal any time soon.

Russia says talks with U.S. fail to make headway on embassies dispute

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia and the United States failed to make any major progress on Tuesday in resolving a row over the size and functioning of their embassies and there is a risk that relations could worsen further, Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said.

With ties already at post-Cold War lows, the two countries are in dispute over the number of diplomats they can post to each other's capitals, though Moscow said it was willing to lift restrictions imposed in recent years.

"I cannot say that we have achieved great progress," Interfax news agency quoted Ryabkov as saying after talks in Moscow with U.S. Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland. "There is a risk of a further sharpening of tensions."

There was no immediate comment from the U.S. side.

Last week the Russian foreign ministry said a U.S. congressional proposal to expel 300 Russian diplomats from the United States would lead to the closure of U.S. diplomatic facilities in Russia, if implemented.

Three US Embassy employees could be expelled from Russia after they were accused of theft

Three U.S. Embassy employees based in Moscow, Russia could face expulsion from the country after they were accused of theft.

The Russian foreign ministry alleged on Friday that the employees stole "personal belongings from a Russian citizen," according to the Washington Post. The ministry demanded the staffers have their diplomatic immunity status revoked so that they can face prosecution in Russia or leave the country.

The ministry told TASS, a state-owned Russian news organization, that they had notified the US embassy of their request. The ministry did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
