Russian journalists who received visas from the pool of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov could fly to the United States. This was stated by the American ambassador to Moscow, Lynne Tracy.
Earlier, Lavrov, speaking at a meeting of the UN Security Council, said that the US Embassy in Moscow announced the readiness of visas for Russian journalists when the delegation's plane had already taken off. According to the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharov, Moscow will not leave unanswered the failure to issue US visas to journalists in a timely manner.
