Question: Could you please comment on the situation with the US side’s failure to issue visas for the Russian delegation so that they could take part in the session of the UN General Assembly?

Sergey Lavrov: I believe that there is no need for any comments here. It is a real disgrace for this power which is trying to prove that it voices the sublime truth. This is simply a real disgrace.
