The Russian Foreign Ministry reacted to a statement by the US Senator on the denial of a visa

It is noted that Johnson is in the stop list in response to the inclusion of representatives of Russia.

“And this is called information manipulation. He is in the stop list in response to the inclusion of Russian representatives, which he had known about for a long time, ”RIA Novosti quotes a message from the Information and Press Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

The department emphasized that the senator did not apply for a visa.

“But he presented everything as if he was refused after the appeal,” they added.

Earlier, the Russian embassy in Washington said that American Republican Senator Ron Johnson (from Wisconsin), claiming that he was denied a visa to Russia, did not apply to the diplomatic mission.
