On April 23, local time, the Russian delegation left for New York to attend a meeting of the UN Security Council. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the staff of the Russian Foreign Ministry have obtained visas to go to the United States, but the Russian journalists who were originally scheduled to accompany them were unable to go because they did not obtain visas. Lavrov stressed that Russia cannot forgive the US for not issuing visas to Russian journalists.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov said that the responsibility for the failure of the accompanying journalists to obtain a visa lies entirely with the US side. This behavior of the US side is outrageous, and Russia will not ignore it.
The Russian Foreign Ministry also stated that Lavrov has no plans to meet with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken during the UN Security Council meeting. (Headquarters reporter Song Yao)
