Russia packed up its tiny Midtown trade mission and two other diplomatic facilities in San Francisco and Washington Friday, ahead of President Trump’s deadline to get out.
Men moved furniture into blue vans parked outside the East 40th Street office building where the Russian Trade Mission occupied a small space on the 15th floor.
“No speak English,” one shrugged when approached by The Post.
The move was more tense in San Francisco, where black smoke was seen pouring Friday from the Russian consulate’s chimney.
Workers there told firefighters that staffers were burning items in a fireplace before they had to leave Saturday.
