GENEVA - Russia's diplomatic mission says a planned visit by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to the United Nations in Geneva has been cancelled after EU countries closed their airspace to flights from RUSsia.
Lavrov had been expected to attend high-level meetings at the Human Rights Council and the Conference on Disarmament, followed by a planned news conference.
The mission tweeted that the cancellation of the trip to landlocked Switzerland was due to an "unprecedented ban” on Lavrov’s flight by "a number of EU countries that have imposed anti-RUSsian sanctions.”
