US intentionally crumbled its consular service in Moscow, said the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Maria Zakharov in an interview with the RTVI TV channel, which she published in his Telegram channel.
According to the diplomat, Russia issues visas to American citizens “like in a pharmacy”, even despite the obstacles from Washington. As Zakharov clarified, the American side at this time deliberately complicated its visa.
“intentionally do not give visas, intentionally lengthened the time for issuing passports, intentionally made this procedure so wild for the 21st century, which was nowhere to have intentionally closed their credentials in Russia,” she spoke about the termination of the issuance of American visas to the Russians.
Earlier, the US Embassy in Moscow suspended the provision of all non-diplomatic non-immigrant visa services.
