Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova pointed out that “most of the Russian delegation did not receive visas to the United States to participate in the UN General Assembly, but there are problems related to logistics,” noting that “there is the concept of an official delegation.” It consists of a list approved by the President and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, leading the delegation to this General Assembly, where Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov received an entry visa yesterday, and a number of other members do not receive, and this is the second group who are accompanied, and these are specialists and diplomats .

In a statement, she explained: “For example, translators and specialists in some other fields are involved in technical support for the work of the delegation, and among this list, some received visas, while others did not,” emphasizing that “I don’t want to talk about shares and percentages now, because that I don’t have accurate statistics and most of the people have not yet received a visa.”

Yesterday, Tuesday, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and a number of his associates had been issued visas to participate in the work of the UN General Assembly.
