MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia accused the United States on Thursday of refusing to cooperate in a longstanding row over their respective embassies, two days after the issue was raised in a call between presidents Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that despite reaching an understanding on some "peripheral" issues, the two countries were deadlocked in the dispute over the size and working of their diplomatic missions.
