This is a complete overreaction by the childish Putin government. They have been told they can't have what they want, and so throw the rattle out of the pram, so to speak. Our two nations, throughout the entire cold war never closed embassies, but it seems Russia is overreacting here. The United States will keep open its embassy in Moscow.

Iceland agrees with the stance the US has taken on Russia's actions. Embassies are established to offer help to a countries' citizens, and by closing them, Russia is not only endangering the safety of Russians in the US, they are intentionally souring relations with the US.
Under the circumstances Australia supports this decision, but asks the US to work towards being more diplomatic in their responses to Russia's taunts.
Ideally, we wish for this conflict to be resolved peacefully, and we believe that calling Russia's political decisions childish (however childish they may truly be) is a step in the wrong direction.

Botswana hopes for a peaceful resolution to this tension. As we consider the US and Russia to be allies of ours.
We would like to offer our facilities at the Chobe National Park for negotiations between the two nations.

Russia accepts the offer that further negotiations be held in Botswana as it is far removed from the tensions. Hopefully it will be a bit warmer that Iceland too.

We accept the invitation to discussions.
