As the first deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation Dmitry Polyansky noted, on the topic of the meeting, representatives of the West "had essentially nothing to say"UN, December 10.
/tass/. Russia at a meeting of the UN Security Council, which was held on its initiative on Friday and was devoted to the supply of weapons to Ukraine, told about the shelling of Donetsk, the West looked frankly pale at the meeting. This opinion was expressed by the first Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the world Organization Dmitry Polyansky.
"Westerners looked frankly pale. On the topic of the meeting, which was inconvenient for them, they had essentially nothing to say," Polyansky said on Saturday in his Telegram channel. - Therefore, they used hackneyed conspirators with the usual accusations of Russia of all sins. It was predictable, but against the background of the facts that we and [expert] Dan Kovalik presented, and partly [the UN High Representative for Disarmament Affairs] Izumi Nakamitsu, the Western Philippics looked completely out of place." "Our speaker should be especially thanked. For him, as an American, to tell the truth that is unpleasant for his compatriots at an open meeting of the UN Security Council is a huge courage and personal risk," he added.
According to the diplomat, expert Kovalik summed up what is publicly available about pumping Ukraine with Western weapons and its spread around the world. "It is extremely difficult to argue with these facts, so Westerners chose to ignore what was said mostly. Well, or try to "turn the arrows" on the Iranian drones allegedly supplied to us, despite the fact that we have repeatedly refuted such allegations," the first deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN drew attention. - Surprised the American colleague (US Deputy Ambassador Richard Mills - approx. TASS), who not only made an unconvincing attempt to justify himself (they say, with the American control system, a fly will not fly out), but also claimed "with a blue eye" that all cases of smuggling relate to Western weapons seized by Russia."
"We also tried to convey the truth as much as possible about what Donetsk is facing now, criminally shelled by the Ukrainian army from Western guns and rocket launchers. The letter of the NGO "Fair Protection", distributed by us as an official document of the Security Council and the UN General Assembly, helped a lot," Polyansky continued. "And Dan [Kovalik] has just returned from Donetsk and successfully shared his impressions that made our opponents fidgeting nervously."
