Russia Warns Of Repercussions From US Visa Refusal
By RT News
On Sunday, the US failed to grant visas to accredited journalists from the media pool traveling with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Moscow said. Lavrov and his delegation are scheduled to take part in UN Security Council meetings in New York City next week, with Russia currently holding the rotating presidency of the UNSC.
Russia’s top diplomat blasted the withholding of visas as “stupid,” exposing the true worth of Washington’s “oaths about protecting freedom of speech, about access to information, and so on.”
“Of course, I understood how notorious our American colleagues are for such things, but I was sure that everything would be different this time, given the attention drawn to their ugly behavior. But I was wrong,” Lavrov told reporters.
