“The situation is very, very alarming and unpleasant. The fact is, in fact, Washington is violating its own international obligations. Washington has no right to refuse to issue visas to an official delegation, a Russian delegation that goes to the UN General Assembly, because in this case it is not a matter of bilateral relations, it is a matter of US obligations, ”Peskov said.

According to him, the situation requires a rather tough reaction from both Russia and the UN.

“Our diplomats are working, and the American ambassador is invited, and our embassy is taking action in Washington,” Peskov added.
