Moscow made a proposal to move the meeting of the First division (the disarmament Commission), the General Assembly of the United Nations from the USA to another country in response to the non-issuance of U.S. visas to Russian delegates, said Deputy foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov.
According to the policy, the Ministry is waiting for the reaction of the international fraternity on this initiative.
"Not only Russia suffers from this American arrogance, rolling in absolutely indecent farce," he said in the interview to the magazine " International life ".
Ryabkov drew attention that North America disregard the agreements concluded after the placement of the headquarters of UN in new York in 1947.
the Deputy Minister added that North America has established " a record in terms of its positioning on the international arena."
before the official representative the Ministry of foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova said that certain members of the Russian delegation, who were obliged to participate in U.S. events under the auspices of the UN, have Not received visas for " technical reasons ".
The Diplomat considered the explanation of the US capital untenable. The foreign Ministry criticized the U.S. prosecution in default of direct obligations of the UN.
The Minister Sergei Lavrov called the refusal to issue visas to shame. Yesterday in interview to the newspaper "Kommersant" he said that in 2018, Moscow has met Washington and at the request of the American partners have included coming to the Russian Federation delegation, Senator Ron Johnson, are in the sanctions list.
U.S. policy promised to meet the mirror, however, as said Lavrov, this year in the capital of the United States told that to issue a visa to any party blacklist " fundamentally impossible ". The diplomat called it a sad demonstration of " American exceptionalism ".
in addition, Lavrov promised "surprise" for the United States after the decision of the capital of the United States on visas.
