Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, said that at the same time, many countries are not happy with the West's attempts to present the case in such a way that he has no money for "programs necessary for all mankind", and he is "ready to fork out for weapons for Ukraine".MOSCOW, February 16.
/tass/. Western countries have already invested more than $100 billion in deadly programs in Ukraine, without thinking about how many people will suffer from the corresponding actions. This was stated on Thursday by Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, speaking via video link at a discussion of the Valdai International Club.
"As soon as the crisis in Ukraine began and billions of dollars had to be pumped into weapons, they immediately found these billions, because this is different. This is an investment in the Western military-industrial complex, it is an investment in the development of military technologies. They [in the West] are interested in this. According to the most conservative estimates, they have invested more than $100 billion in these absolutely deadly ideas in Ukraine, without thinking about how many people will suffer from this," the diplomat said.
Polyansky stressed that at the same time, many countries are not happy with the West's attempts to present the case in such a way that he has no money for "programs necessary for all mankind", and he is "ready to fork out for weapons for Ukraine." "The message itself has not found understanding among developing countries," the diplomat concluded.
