The United States sees this demand as unfounded and inconsistent from the point of view of diplomatic practice, he said. But the U.S. will meet the demand and the number of U.S. diplomats in Belarus will be reduced from 30 to 17 by the end of March 27, Moore said in a statement on Tuesday.
The statement also says that the embassy will manage to ensure contacts between Belarusian and American citizens, protect the interests of American citizens in Belarus, receive guests in the U.S., and inform the State Department about political and economic developments, the moment it is able to continue its work.
