Russian authorities announced on Friday the closing of an international school in Moscow. The swift move was a change of course from a comment a spokesman for the Russian government made Thursday that there was “no need to rush” retaliation following sanctions by the US.

The Anglo-American School of Moscow serves pre-kindergarten to 12th grade international students. The school and the US Embassy vacation dacha in Serebryany Bor will both be shut down, according to Russian officials.
