“We consider the incident as a cynical and unacceptable provocation. I regret to admit that this incident was the next step that impedes a civilized dialogue between our countries. The creation of artificial barriers for the work of Russian officials, including diplomats and parliamentarians, in the framework of international multilateral events held in the United States, has acquired a regular character,” the Chairman of the State Duma said in the address.

Viacheslav Volodin emphasized that “such destructive practice seriously damages Russian-American relations, including inter-parliamentary cooperation.”

The Chairman of the State Duma asked the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the US Congress to assess the incident with Inga Iumashev ”and give an objective assessment to the actions of the US security services.“ He also urged Nancy Pelosi to do everything in her power to prevent such unfriendly actions from the American side in the future.
