Russia Seeks Revenge for US Denial of Journalist Visas

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused the US of denying visas to Russian journalists who wanted to cover his trip to the United Nations in New York. Lavrov hinted at revenge and vowed that Moscow "will not forgive" the denial. The US State Department has not yet commented on the claim. Tensions between the two countries have been heightened since the arrest of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich by Russian authorities last month, with the US declaring he has been "wrongfully detained."
