The Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the UN, Sergei Kislitsa, informed the Security Council about the consequences of Russia’s massive attack on Ukraine, noting that by killing “innocent people in Ukraine and beyond its borders,” the Russian Federation feels free.

Direct speech : “Just look at the list of targets that were so “boldly” destroyed by Russia last night. A maternity ward, educational institutions, a shopping center, 45 multi-story residential buildings, private houses, two churches, retail and storage facilities, and a parking lot.
Given reports of a Russian missile hitting Polish airspace during a Russian strike, we reiterate that Russian air terror poses a dangerous threat not only to Ukraine, but also to neighboring countries.
The only way to prevent its consequences is to continue to support Ukraine by further strengthening our defense capabilities.”
“And as long as Russia is able to kill the trust and integrity of the Security Council, it will be free to kill innocent people in Ukraine and beyond.”
Let us remind you : the United States accused Russia of deliberately distracting the UN Security Council with topics about the Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine ten years ago, while Moscow was preparing a large-scale missile and air strike on Ukrainian cities.
