Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the United States abused the position of the country, which is the mistress of the United Nations headquarters, when granting visas to Russia’s UN Security Council delegation. TASS.
“As for the New York trip, yes we were given a visa. But, as always, this was done with a gross misuse of the host country’s position of UN headquarters. “They hung around for a long time, then they issued a visa,” he said.
He pointed out that not all members of the Russian delegation received visas and that such documents were never given to Russian journalists. Lavrov pointed out that the American side did not explain in any way the non-issue of visas to representatives of the Russian media.
“So do not worry, we will defend your rights, there is still time, there is not much, but there is still. “I don’t know how this conflict will turn out, but we will share the results of our efforts later,” he said.
