Julian Assange has laid out his view on why Barack Obama’s seizure of property belonging to the Embassy of the Russian Federation to the United States violates international law.

1/ Expelling "diplomats" is perfectly lawful. But seizing diplomatic property is a clear and dangerous breach of the Vienna Convention.

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has expressed feelings of outrage and disappointment that  Russian embassy properties in America have been effectively seized by US authorities. It came as part of the measures Barack Obama took in his final full month in office when 35 Russian embassy workers were also expelled from the United States.
The issue was discussed during Donald Trump’s meeting with Vladimir Putin. Trump said that he will work with Russia to solve the crisis created by Obama in an expedient fashion.
