“According to our rules, we do not comment on special cases of applying for a visa to the United States,” RIA Novosti quoted the diplomatic mission as saying.
Earlier, a spokesman for the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov commented on the situation with the United States not issuing visas to several members of the Russian delegation to the UN General Assembly. According to him, the situation is very alarming and unpleasant.
Member of the Federation Council Konstantin Kosachev said that among the members of the Russian delegation who did not receive a US visa, there were seven employees of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
