According to him, the United States also did not issue visas to the Russian delegation and journalists, although a request for their issuance was sent to the embassy in March. At the end of the month, representatives of the national media were supposed to arrive there to consider visa applications. “However, in less than a day, the appointment was canceled without explanation,” Antonov said in a statement posted on the embassy’s Telegram channel.
And now a strange situation is developing around the special plane of the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry. “The US authorities have not yet agreed on their arrival,” the ambassador said.
He added that Moscow is waiting for the prompt issuance of permission to fly over the aircraft “without conditions or restrictions.”
Let us remember that in April the Russian Federation chairs the UN Security Council. Sergey Lavrov plans to participate in the meetings on April 24-25.
