"This is cynical": Ambassadors of 27 countries have expressed indignation on the President of the Russian Federation in the UN
"I am here together with 27 Ambassadors of the European Union. Russia tries to portray itself as a defender of the UN Charter and Multilaterality. Nothing can be further from the truth. It is cynical. We all know that while Russia is being destroyed. We are building. While they are breaking, we are protecting. The United Nations Statute, the UN General Assembly, the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court, where you do not look, Russia despises, "he said.
The ambassadors called on the international community to ensure the responsibility of the perpetrators committed in Ukraine and against and demand from the Russian Federation "immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw all their armed forces" from the territory of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders. "The Ukrainian people have paid the most expensive price, but the harmful consequences of Russian aggression are felt around the world.
I want to emphasize that all efforts to support Ukraine have been made in addition, not instead of our global obligations," Skoog said. It should be reminded that on April 3, a permanent representative of the Russian Federation in the UN Vasyl Nemenz made fun of indignation that the Russian Federation could not be the chairman of the Security Council in April because of its invasion of Ukraine.
