Putin decided on the date of performance at the UN General Assembly - with Pope Francis, he is unlikely to see

Russian President Vladimir Putin will perform at the UN General Assembly on the morning of September 28. According to the assistant to the head of state Yuri Ushakov, the Russian leader will also affect the issues of joint fighting terrorism. The day before it became known that the Popecould meet Putin if the President of the Russian Federation arrived at the September 25 session.

According to Ushakov, "the president acts on September 28 in the morning, this has already been agreed," TASS reports. Other aspects of Putin’s program at the General Assembly "are now in the study stage."

Ushakov noted that in his speech from the UN rostrum, the President of the Russian Federation plans to "affect the key aspects of the international agenda, including, of course, issues that concern joint efforts to combat terrorism."

There is a chance that the choice of the topic for the performance is related to the active discussion of the strengthening of Russia's military presence in Syria. The leadership of the Russian Federation does not deny that in the territory of the Arab Republic there are Russian military instructors who help the Syrian military to master the delivered equipment. At the same time, the American and Israeli media report that Russia plans to build a military base in Latakia.

The topic of activation of Syria’s support from the Russian Federation was commented by the US State Department. The American diplomatic mission believes that military assistance to the Bashar al -Assad regime is very bad. Washington is sure that the main responsibility for destabilization in the region lies precisely on the President of the SAR. In this regard, the US leadership does not exclude that Russia's assistance to the Assad regime can lead to confrontation of the Russian Federation and the forces of the International Coalition against the Islamic State (extremist organization banned in Russia) in Syria.

In addition, Russia has advocated the creation of a new anti -terrorist coalition with the participation of the Syrian and Iraqi armies, the Kurds and countries of the Middle East. Recently, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin made this proposal.

For the first time in 10 years, Putin will perform at the anniversary of the 70th session of the UN General Assembly, which will be held in the United States. The head of state will head the Russian delegation. According to the diplomatic protocol, negotiations with the country, presiding in the UN Security Council, and its leader must conduct the Pope. In 2015, Russia became her.

The day before, the constant representative of the Vatican at the UN noted that Putin and Pontiff's meeting will take place only if the President of the Russian Federation arrives at it on time. The Russian leader was already twice late for negotiations with the dad. The performance of the head of the Catholic Church at the UN General Assembly is scheduled for September 25. Apparently, Putin and dad will still not be able to meet. The Kremlin previously stated that the meeting in the President of the Russian Federation is not listed, but in principle negotiations are not excluded.

The media also discuss the likelihood of Putin’s negotiations with US President Barack Obama as part of the UN General Assembly session. The Kremlin previously stated that it is still not known whether the bilateral meeting of the American and Russian leaders will be held in New York. After that, the former US ambassador to the Russian Federation, Michael McFol, suggested that Obama does not really seek to meet in Putin, if only because on Russian television the head of the United States has recently been compared with the leader of the extremist group "Islamic State" banned in the Russian Federation.
