Pretty aggressive response by Putin:

“National emergency”: Biden announces sanctions, expels diplomats over Russian election interference
04/15/2021
President Joe Biden on Thursday declared that the U.S. faces a “national emergency” over an array of malign actions from Russia, imposing new sanctions on the Russian government and expelling 10 Kremlin diplomats from the United States.
The moves are part of an intensifying U.S. campaign to punish Moscow over its attempted interference in the 2020 U.S. election, its cyberespionage campaign known as SolarWinds, and its occupation of Crimea. They are sure to escalate already rising tensions between the two nations and are likely to be met with some Russian reprisal, including the expulsion of U.S. diplomats. The moves also come as Russia has amassed military forces near its border with Ukraine, alarming the international community.

Putin bites back at Biden's sanctions by expelling 10 diplomats and banning top officials including Secretary of State Blinken from Moscow as tensions soar
Published: 16 April 2021
Russia on Friday banned top officials from Joe Biden's administration from entering the country and expelled 10 US diplomats from Moscow as it announced a wave of tit-for-tat sanctions amid soaring tensions.
Moscow nonetheless said it viewed the prospect of a summit between Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin this summer 'positively'.
On Thursday, Washington announced sanctions and the expulsion of 10 Russian diplomats in retaliation for what it says is interference by the Kremlin in US elections, a massive cyber attack and other hostile activity, including troop movement on the Ukrainian border.
Moscow hit back by saying top US officials including Attorney General Merrick Garland, Biden's chief Domestic Policy Advisor Susan Rice, and FBI chief Christopher Wray would not be welcome in Russia.
