The Russian diplomatic delegation is still unable to obtain visas to enter the United States to attend the annual meeting of the UN General Assembly on September 20.
In his letter to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, Vasyl Nebenzya, Russia’s ambassador to the UN, regards this situation as “alarming”: the delegation from Russia has been denied visas for the past few months.
The American side reports that it has reasons for delaying the issuance of documents to the 56 members of the delegation from the Russian Federation: Washington may refuse to issue visas for reasons of “security, terrorism, and foreign policy.”
