Representatives of Western countries are engaged in the UN Security Council in PR of the ‘overdue Ukrainian president’ instead of discussing the situation in the enclave at a high-level week before the anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel, Russia’s permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said.
‘Instead of discussing the situation in the enclave at a high-level week on the eve of the anniversary of the events of 7 October, our Western colleagues have actively engaged in PR for the overdue Ukrainian president. I hope you realise how hypocritical your words will sound today in such circumstances,’ Vasily Nebenzya said during the UN Security Council meeting.
The Russian diplomat also rebuked Western countries for hypocrisy regarding the Middle East conflict, noting that it was ‘as if the West has water in its mouth’ when it comes to honestly assessing the situation with the Palestinians.
‘If it was about any other state, they would actively condemn such actions,’ he added.
Recall, earlier Russian President Vladimir Putin called Western ideas of a new world order hypocrisy. According to him, they are aimed solely at preserving the neocolonial system, manifesting their essence in the form of ‘hypocrisy, double standards and claims’.
