## Resource

Russia’s U.N. ambassador blasts the U.S. for denying a visa to Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Alimov, who was meant to attend a critical Security Council meeting chaired by China — a move Russia says violates the U.N. Headquarters Agreement and shows disrespect for global diplomacy. Nebenzia warns this reflects Western double standards and dangerous trends like remilitarization in Germany and Japan, which threaten post-WWII stability. China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi and U.N. Secretary-General Guterres join the chorus, stressing the urgent need to strengthen the U.N. Charter amid rising global instability and record-breaking conflicts — a stark reminder that even routine diplomacy is now caught in the crosshairs of geopolitical rivalry.
