Ten Russian diplomats were unable to attend this week's United Nations General Assembly in New York having been refused visas.
The State Department said it could not comment on the issue, as"visa records are confidential under U.S. law,"reported. The department also said it evaluates"each visa application on a case by case basis, consistent with existing laws and obligations."
Kosachev said the decision was"outrageous" and that there was"no explanation or justification" for it."The United States breached its obligations to the international community and did not issue in due time visas to a number of members of the official delegation, including myself," he said,President of Namibia Hage Geingob speaks at the 74th Session of the General Assembly at the United Nations headquarters on September 25, 2019 in New York.
Zakharova said the decision is"an outrageous example of disrespect by the United States of America for members of the United Nations, as well as a failure to fulfill its obligations as host country to the world organization." "Another act of disregard for the rights of sovereign states and international organizations and the inability to somehow comply with their own international legal obligations will be the central theme of the conversation between Lavrov and Pompeo in New York," Zakharova wrote on Facebook.
The spat prompted Russian lawmakers to propose moving the United Nations headquarters away from New York. State Duma member Natalya Poklonskaya, for example, suggested the building be relocated to the Crimean resort city of Yalta, which was part of Ukraine until Russia annexed the peninsula in 2014.
