According to him, the group of journalists supposed to accompany Lavrov on this business trip only obtained visas at the last moment. The Americans pretended they were working and a solution was on the way, Ryabkov said.
This is a game on the nerves, a mockery, another reflection on the fact that American colleagues cannot be trusted, that one should simply not listen to them, leads RIA News words of the Deputy Foreign Minister. He noted that a lie does not color the host.
Journalists were supposed to cover the most important event under Russia’s presidency of the UN Security Council, Ryabkov said, stressing that the responsibility lies entirely with the American side.
“We will figure out how to respond to this so that the United States will remember for a long time that this is not happening,” concluded the deputy minister.
Note that Sergei Lavrov himself called Washington’s act stupid and cowardly. The Minister admitted that until recently he believed that this time “everything would be different”, but he was wrong.
