> Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya accused European countries now presenting themselves as peace advocates of spending years arming Ukraine, turning it into a tool of military and political pressure on Russia, and encouraging Kyiv to reject the Minsk agreements. He said they eagerly anticipated Russia’s “strategic defeat” while now claiming they are not parties to the conflict and are only helping Ukraine defend itself.
