“The start of the UN disarmament commission was postponed. We requested an urgent meeting of the general assembly committee on relations with the host country (USA. - RT ). The meeting of the committee will take place at the beginning of next week, ”RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

Nebenzya also said that the Russian side intends to ask Guterres to report on the progress in resolving the "outrageous situation with visa issuance to official delegates, especially to the heads of the UN session delegation."

Earlier, the UN Disarmament Commission postponed a meeting in connection with the issuance of an American visa on time to the head of the Russian delegation, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry for Multilateral Disarmament Affairs Konstantin Vorontsov.
