This year, the US authorities once again refused to issue me a visa as a member of the Russian delegation for a trip to the high-level week of the UN General Assembly. Without explanation.
The United States has repeatedly violated (in my case, 4 times) its international obligations as the host country of the United Nations headquarters, arbitrarily using visa restrictions to grossly interfere with the work of the UN General Assembly and other structures! Washington hawks are trying to shut the mouths of all those who expose the destructive role of the United States in the destruction of
global stability and security, the approach of World War III.
Russia has already drawn the attention of the UN Secretariat to the inadmissibility of “visa wars” and restrictions for members of national delegations. I am sure that this time, too, there will be a tough demarche on our part.
The US thus again and again questions the advisability of continuing to locate its headquarters in New York.
