Russian Foreign Ministry Summons US Envoy Over Visa Denial to Russia's UN Delegation
Earlier in the day, the Russian Foreign Ministry slammed Washington for visa denial to members of the Russian delegation, who were to attend the United Nations General Assembly.
The Russian Foreign Ministry summoned on Tuesday the US envoy to Moscow after it turned out that the US had failed to provide several members of the Russian delegation to the United Nations General Assembly with visas timely.
"The American ambassador has been summoned to the Foreign Ministry, our embassy in Washington is taking measures... This is a direct violation of Washington’s international obligations. It’s not a bilateral visit, it’s a visit of the Russian delegation to the UN General Assembly," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
Commenting on the visa denial, Peskov said that the situation was alarming and unacceptable, adding that Washinton's move violates international obligations.
"America provides its territory to the UN Headquarters, and in fact, the only thing America has the right to do is to limit, for example, the stay of members of the Russian delegation to one city, New York. The US has no right to impose any other restrictions on those heading to the General Assembly. Now, these rules have been violated. This certainly requires a rather tough reaction from Moscow... and from the UN," he said.
