The United States has opened a visa for a “banned” Russian politician

The United States has informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Russia that a US visa for speaker of the Federation Council, Valentina Matvienko, will be ready on Wednesday. It can be limited only by UN events, the official representative of the US Embassy in Russia said on Tuesday.

“We are in contact with the Russian Foreign Ministry regarding this separate visa issue and have informed them that the visa will be ready the next day,” the embassy said on Tuesday.

“As the Russian media correctly wrote, the Interparliamentary Assembly is not a UN body, and, thus, its participants are not subject to the obligations of the host country,” the message says.

“The United States reserves the right to limit the validity of the visa only to events related to the UN,” the representative of the American diplomatic mission emphasized.

On Monday, a source in the Federation Council сообщилthat Valentina Matvienko was denied a US visa. However, then the US embassy said that her visa application is still under consideration.

The Russian delegation led by Matvienko planned to take part in the events of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, which will be held in New York from August 31 to September 2.

After the annexation of the Crimea USA и EC introduced personal sanctions against politicians and other citizens of Russia and Ukraine, who are responsible for approving the undermining of the territorial integrity of Ukraine. Their accounts (if any) were frozen, they were denied entry into the States and the European Union countries.

Valentina Matvienko is included in the sanctions list of the United States, according to which she is denied entry into the country.
