Russian President Vladimir Putin does not plan to attend the UN General Assembly in New York. This was stated by the president’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov, noting that the United States is not the most suitable place for the Russian leader to travel at the moment. RIA Novosti.
“He has not been traveling in recent years. So, after all, the United States – by the way, as a country headquartered in the UN – does not fully fulfill its obligations. So at the moment this is probably not the best direction for travel,” Peskov explained.
