EU tackles tank transport troubles in face of Russia threat
Lavrov said Britain had informed Moscow of the state of health of Yulia Skripal on Thursday and that Russian Federation had asked again for access to her as a citizen.
President Trump and other leaders in Canada, Australia, NATO and Europe acted together in response to what they said was Russia's poisoning March 4 of a former Russian double agent and his daughter in Britain.
More than 20 nations have said they will kick out Russian diplomats.
Sergey Lavrov said U.S. Ambassador Jon Huntsman has been summoned to the Foreign Ministry on Thursday, where he was given notice that Russia is responding quid pro quo to the U.S. decision to order 60 Russian diplomats out.
"The measures would be reciprocal".
Russian Federation will expel 60 U.S. diplomats and close the U.S. Consulate in St. Petersburg in a "tit-for-tat" in response to Western actions after an ex-spy poisoning, Kremlin's news agency Tass reported on Thursday.
Britain has blamed Russia for the poisoning, and has been backed up by dozens of Western countries which have ordered Russian diplomats to leave.
The coordinated expulsions of Russian intelligence officers, he said, were a "coherent approach by the Western alliance to a range of aggressive Russian behavior, of which the attack in Salisbury was just the latest, obviously very acute, example". Mr Skripal remains in a critical but stable condition.
In all, more than 150 Russian diplomats have been ordered out of the US, EU members, North Atlantic Treaty Organisation countries and other nations in coordinated action against Moscow which they accuse of poisoning ex-spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in a nerve agent attack in the English city of Salisbury on March 4. The expulsions were a remarkable show of worldwide unity and coordination, in solidarity with Britain, which had already forced 23 Russian officials to leave the country; Moscow responded by expelling 23 Britons. Britain and its allies have dismissed previous Moscow claims that they possessed that type of nerve agent.

Meanwhile, Mr Skripal's daughter Yulia is no longer in a critical condition and improving rapidly, according to the hospital treating her, Reuters has reported.
He accused London of "forcing everyone to follow an anti-Russian course".
Washington earlier ordered the expulsion of 60 diplomats and shut down the Russian consulate general in Seattle.
United States officials joined North Atlantic Treaty Organisation allies in expelling Russian agents from their countries.
"She has responded well to treatment but continues to receive expert clinical care 24 hours a day".
Earlier on Thursday, Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zaharova cast doubt over the investigation by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) into the Skripal case, calling it a "trickery". He was sent to Britain in 2010 as part of a spy swap.
"The United States, in concert with many countries, made the decision to kick out Russian spies", said Nauert. Zaharova said at a foreign ministry press conference.
Russia does not have an embassy in Georgia after Georgia broke off diplomatic relations following the 2008 war, but there is a Russian interests section at the Swiss embassy, where a number of Russian diplomatic staff are working.
