Russian President Vladimir Putin has ruled out a tit-for-tat
response after the US expelled 35 Russian diplomats amid a row over hacking.
He said Russia would not "stoop" to the level of
"irresponsible diplomacy" but would work to restore ties with the US
under President-elect Donald Trump.
Russia's foreign ministry had formally asked Mr Putin to
expel 35 US envoys.
The country denies involvement in hacking related to the US
election, calling US sanctions "ungrounded".
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev accused the outgoing US
administration of President Barack Obama of ending in "anti-Russian death
throes".
