/ world today news/ On April 23, the Russian delegation left for New York to participate in a meeting of the UN Security Council. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the Russian diplomats had been granted visas to the US, but the journalists originally scheduled to accompany them had not. The Russian side cannot forgive Washington’s refusal.
The US made this decision out of concern that in their reports Russian journalists would fully expose the American hypocrisy in the continuous parade of “freedom of speech”, the Russian foreign minister also told the media.
During the meeting in New York, Lavrov has no plans to meet with Blinken.
