WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 14th September, 2018) The US Department of State has slowed down the process of issuing visas to Russian diplomats and even recalls visas, and Russia will respond accordingly, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov told reporters.
"The sanctions policy of the United States has had a very negative impact on issuance of visas to Russian diplomats. Permits for our new employees to enter the United States are processed very badly. The requests for their visas just 'hang' in the US embassy, which prevents the normal rotation of staff. There have been cases of revocation already issued visas," Antonov said on Thursday. "We will use the principle of reciprocity when issuing visas to Americans."
