| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on September 19 that the United States did not contact Russia regarding contacts at the UN General Assembly in New York and was busy with other issues. “The Joe Biden administration is more concerned with PR from the UN rostrum of Ukrainian politics and the head of the regime in Kiev, Vladimir Zelensky, with an eye on the upcoming elections in the United States next year,” he told TASS. Ryabkov also noted that the schedule of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov ’s visit to New York is busy and does not involve contact with the American side. The Deputy Foreign Minister emphasized that there were no requests on this topic either. A day earlier, Russia’s permanent representative to the organization, Vasily Nebenzya, said that the United States did not make proposals to hold bilateral meetings at the UNGA session. As Regnum reported, the week of the high-level session of the UN General Assembly will be held in New York from September 18 to 26. Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree approving the composition of the Russian delegation at the 78th session of the General Assembly, which will be headed by Lavrov. The composition also included Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin , head of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs Grigory Karasin , Permanent Representative of Russia Nebenzya and head of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Leonid Slutsky. Lavrov will speak during the general political discussion of the General Assembly and hold a number of meetings. As stated in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the delegation will promote a range of initiatives on key international topics. Ryabkov said on September 7 that some members of the Russian delegation did not receive American visas. He called on the US authorities not to repeat the case when visas were not issued or detained to Russian journalists traveling with Lavrov to cover events. He later clarified that the United States had made it extremely difficult to issue visas, delaying the process until the last moment. Hmmmm? Something about an American journalist detained in Russia? |

| #10 I guess if Hillary Clinton supports the Zelenskys I need to get on the bandwagon, right? Its her experience in buying back US Arms from local black markets. |

| #8 JPost is not NYT - except they hate Bibi. Ditto The Times of Israel. I prefer the Jerusalem Post, but for some reason it keeps crashing my iPad, which slows down article collection. I want to shake all those reporters and editors. They refuse to see how dangerous their attitude is for Israel’s continued survival. |

| #1 A New York Times report suggesting that Ukraine was responsible for killing at least 15 civilians in a missile strike on a Donbass market will fuel “conspiracy theories,” the top adviser to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has declared. When you lost NYT, what's left? |
