“We note that there is a big problem with the issuance or late issuance of entry visas to the United States for our diplomats who participate in the work of UN commissions and committees,” the Kremlin representative quoted Interfax as saying.
According to him, this trend causes concern, impedes the work of the organization and is a big problem.
Peskov noted that the Foreign Ministry has repeatedly raised this issue.
Earlier, the UN Disarmament Commission postponed the meeting in connection with the issuance of an American visa on time to the head of the Russian delegation, Konstantin Vorontsov.
Russia requested an emergency meeting of the UN committee.
Problems with issuing visas to Russians to participate in international events in the United States began to arise regularly since 2014.
