Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov sharply condemned the behavior of the United States. Media workers have not received permission to enter, Moscow will not leave such a step unanswered, he said.

"Until the last moment the Americans pretended that they were working, the solution was about to be found," he added. This lie does not paint the country hosting the UN headquarters, the deputy minister said. The United States, when issuing visas to Russians to participate in the UN Security Council, grossly abused the position of the host country of the headquarters of the world organization.
