If the United States refuses to allow a Russian private flight into the country, Moscow will respond through diplomatic channels.

Axar.az reports that the statement came from the Russian Foreign Ministry.

"Such behavior by the US government will not go unanswered. As we have previously warned, if Russia refuses to accept a private flight, confrontation will be inevitable," the statement said.

Earlier, the United States did not allow a special flight of Russian state aviation to evacuate employees of foreign agencies and their families.
