Russian President Vladimir Putin says he will not carry out tit-for-tat expulsions of diplomats after the US told 35 Russian officials to leave the country.
Moscow denies allegations that it interfered with the US presidential election.
On Thursday the White House announced it would expel diplomats over the alleged hacking, and would also level sanctions against nine Russian entities and individuals.
Moscow correspondent Daria Bondarchuk says it had looked like President Putin might move to throw American diplomats out of Russia in retaliation.
