“We will be strict, perhaps even more strictly now, with regard to the visa requests that the American side addresses us when it becomes necessary to visit Russia,” Vershinin said.
Earlier, Vladimir Yermakov, director of the non-proliferation and arms control department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said that the United States deliberately impedes the work of a number of delegations to the UN.
Including Washington did not issue visas to 6-7 Russian delegates planning to participate in the First Committee of the UN General Assembly.
The Chairman of the First Committee of the 74th session of the UN General Assembly, Sacha Sergio Llorenti Solis, plans to appeal to the UN Secretary General, Anthony Guterres, on the issue of visa issuance to a number of delegates.
