UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres made a statement in support of Moscow’s position in the situation when the American side does not issue visas to Russian delegates to the UN General Assembly.
He believes that the United States has indeed violated its obligations to issue visas to Russian diplomats.
“We were able to convince a wide range of states that we are on the right positions, that our demands are fair, that the host state does not fulfill its obligations under the headquarters agreement. The UN Secretary General issued a statement from which it follows that he fully shares the Russian position”, – said Gennady Kuzmin, Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN.
