“As I said, the Russian Federation notified us of the situation, we are actively working with Russian representatives, as well as with the authorities of the host country,” TASS quoted him as saying.

Earlier, the UN said it was concerned about the situation with the issue of US visas to Russian diplomats.

In September, Washington did not issue visas to a number of representatives of the Russian delegation to attend the UN General Assembly.

Former UN Under-Secretary-General Sergey Ordzhonikidze commented on the situation in an interview with NSN.
