[ad_1]
According to the press service of the Russian Embassy in Washington, Ambassador Anatoly Antonov criticized the “consumer” approach of the US authorities to freedom of speech.
Speaking about the situation with Washington’s non-issuance of visas to a number of Russian UN delegates, Antonov said that the American side is ready to observe the principles of freedom of speech and the press, only if this does not contradict its opportunistic interests.
“Local authorities are ready in practice to comply with the declared principles of freedom of speech and the press, only if this does not contradict their opportunistic interests,” the Russian ambassador said.
