According to today's Russian television website, the Kremlin announced on the 8th that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will lead the Russian delegation to attend the UN General Assembly in New York at the end of September. Russian President Putin did not intend to attend the UN General Assembly or even give a speech at the conference through a video connection. It is unclear whether the United States will allow Lavrov and another member of the Russian delegation to enter the country, even to participate in the United Nations activities.

It is reported that the members of the delegation to the United Nations General Assembly will be: the deputy minister of Russia's Foreign Ministry of Foreign Minister Sergei Welheine, the Russian permanent representative of the United Nations Vasily Nirbia, and the Russian Federal Committee Girigrine Carassin, chairman of the International Affairs Commission, and Chairman of the Russian National Duma International Affairs Committee, Leonide Slutzki.

According to reports, Slartki and Lavrov were included in the sanctions list. Russia believes that unilateral sanctions implemented by the United States and its allies are illegal.

According to reports, the 77th UN General Assembly this year is scheduled to be held from September 20th to 26th. According to a series of treaties and conventions involving the United States as the role of the United Nations host country, Washington has the responsibility to recognize individuals recognized by the United Nations. They enjoy full diplomatic exemption in their duties.
