everything, it comes down to one thing, supposedly the representatives of the un secretariat and thesentative of the secretary general of his deputy do not have accurate information, supposedly. it is not within their competence to assess such actions, allegedly data are being collected and only later, maybe an assessment can be given, and so on and so forth, that is, everything is being done to avoid direct comments on direct statements and a direct assessment of the situation. well, of course, this is unacceptable. uh, history and uh, sergei the minister of foreign affairs of the russian federation, mr. gudevichuk, repeatedly spoke about this to mr. gudyevichuk personally during telephone conversations, and sent the appropriate message through our agency to the un and so on, our deployed materials, and the atrocities of the ukrainian military of the regularly sent department of the high commissioner for human rights person. uh, unfortunately, they couldn't move the folgor. turk for an impartial assessment of this tragedy once again all the materials, he has them, they just need to

unfortunately, even the un secretariat did not have a chance to condemn the shelling of donetsk, althoughikes on ukrainian territory. they speak up all the time. the death toll on informs only since november 27 22 most civilians, of which residents of donetsk 83 civilians were injured damaged 234 many apartment buildings 16 residential buildings. with the armed formations of ukraine without hesitation attack from artillery placed above and structures containing dangerous substances on december 7 an active chemical concern stirol in gorlovka was hit. shells hit the sulfur storage, what caused a fire? by itself, burning sulfur does not pose a danger, but in the case it is determined, but when combined with water, sulfuric acid is formed in the case of certain weather conditions. this can lead to acid rain. among the weapons supplied, it is worth highlighting the american hummers multiple launch rocket systems. we know for sure. and this was indirectly confirmed more than once, kiev washington that american specialists are involved in the operation of these installations. behavior is carried

for the russian leadership oleksandr matsuki a ukrainian diplomat who was the head of the secretariat of the un security council in the past is now with us on a direct video link, gentlemen, bitch good night good evening, now we will talk about the process of recognizing the obvious, that is, russia as a country sponsoring terrorism. but before that, i want to ask you as a professional diplomat about 17 cases of receiving by embassies bomb letters or letters containing animal parts, the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, reported on these cases, and these letters were sent out recently. what do you think? it is connected. i mean, what processes in the international diplomatic arena are these envelopes connected with, if they are connected, of course, in principle, and why were they sent out right now? i think that they are definitely connected and right now they were connected precisely because the russian federation is losing ground under its feet and initially losing on the battlefield. they are trying to take revenge on civilians with peaceful cities and restructuring, no

oleksandr matsuka, a ukrainian diplomat at the un, was the head of the united nations security secretariat was with us in this block for the city of bakhmut and an important supply line and ideologically the valuable cities of sloviansk and kramatorsk, the capture of which is considered by the military to be the starting point for the victory over donetsk region. our scouts work on the advantages and difficulties of defending the city and why the guardsmen are confident of the ukrainian victory in the report of the national guard of ukraine , this is what bakhmut looks like now, almost all the buildings are destroyed, but there are people in one of them, we saw that several people live on the street, they are preparing food

commander-in-chief of the armed forces of our country under the leadership of the state secretariat of the security council. un general assembly adopted a resolution of russia to combat the geranization of nazism; the document recommends that the state take specific measures in various areas to prevent revisions, stories and outcomes. i will note the second world war. this is a traditionally russian revolution, which is submitted annually this year , 120 countries voted for it, 10 voted against, 50 voted against, and for the first time in the history of the organization. this is a state that during the second world war was part of the hitler bloc among them, germany, italy and bulgaria are also among them joined the united states united kingdom ukraine lithuania latvia estonia a powerful explosion rocked the south-east of turkey, according to local media , a car parked on the road was blown up with a remote device when law enforcement officers drove past it as a result , at least eight police stations were damaged pe deployed additional security forces detained, two , the suspects are conducting an anti-terror

but the secretary general and the secretariat, if they acted this way, they would have violated un shutter. and this is absolutely it would be s o l t regis situation. we indicated this several times. it has nothing to do with the sufferers of the matter is the question of procedure and the respect for you and charter, maybe they just extrapolate the tactic that they usually using when they want to achieve certain results from the m o u. n. members face my twisting, their hands sound like mailing them. we do not use these kind of methods. we are just referring to the charter of the united nations, the international law. we are saying that any investigations by the group for $20.00 to $31.00 would be legitimate in the light of international law, because this is not a group of experts and for us to conduct any investigation, they need a clear mandate from the whole of the security council and not the instructions from some of their members sound so far. there is no special mandate. on the contrary, there is an understanding insecurity counsel. that's especially a move will be highly controve

they are trying to manipulate with the un general elder a, reviving some resolution of the eighties , uh, which mentioned the possibility of connecting the secretariatudy of problems in the field proliferation of chemical and biological weapons. 40 years have not been remembered now they remembered, exactly at the moment when we insist that within the framework of the convention it is not a secret, but within the framework of the participants of the convention to create a mechanism for transparency and reporting on what activities each country participating in the biological weapons convention is carrying out outside of their borders. do not want. and of course, the suppression of competitors is observed everywhere, this is not only in relation to the russian federation, which, uh, is not in this year, nee began to be removed from the energy markets yesterday. remember when it was accepted. uh, the third energy package of the european union, which was specifically designed to limit the development of the nord stream, the first northern stream until 2009, then from 12 to 16, the germans were forbidden to use the oil pipeline that continued the nord s

far-fetched, our permanent representative to the un vasily nebenzya said earlier, representatives of ukraine usa great britain germany and france appealed to the secretariatthe world organization with a request to check their data that iranian drones are allegedly present in the area of ​​hostilities, noted that the secretary was not authorized to conduct an investigation, and also drew attention to the fact that she did not provide any evidence in favor of her accusations to the ukrainian administration that the representatives of kiev are still unable to provide tehran through bilateral channels with any documentary evidence of the use by the russian military of a bpal of iranian origin. despite this, the united states considers it possible, on the basis of its fabrications, to try to unreasonably involve secretaries in this plot and withdraw sanctions against iranian and russian legal entities and individuals. the diplomat also stressed that kiev and its western allies are artificially creating a resonance around the fictitious supplies of tehran just at the moment when the negotiations on the iranian nuclear deal are being completed in vienna, the cap
