The Russian Permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzia, responded to this, who, in a letter to UN Secretary General António Guterres, said that it was “alarming” because in the last few months Washington “continually denied entries visa” to a number of Russians. citizens, delegates to other UN activities.
A State Department spokesperson told the agency that the United States takes seriously its obligations as a UN host country and noted that “applications should be submitted as soon as possible to ensure timely processing.”
According to him, this is especially important because of the unreasonable actions of the Russian Federation against the US embassy in Russia, including the forced expulsion of diplomats from Moscow.
A State Department spokeswoman noted that Russia “has severely limited US embassy staff and therefore limited ability to process visas.”
