The Kremlin's response is being seen as a effort to create a fresh start in severely strained bilateral ties when Mr Trump is sworn in next month.

PUTIN TO ALLOW US DIPLOMATS TO STAY

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.
