🎙 Statement by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at UNSC briefing on threats to international peace and security (the shelling of Donetsk on November 7, 2023)

💬 We called this urgent meeting in connection with yet another flagrant violation by the Kiev regime of the norms of international humanitarian law and further evidence of its purposeful actions to destroy the civilian population of Donbas. I refer to the massive shelling by the Ukrainian armed forces of densely populated areas of Donetsk on 7 November.

The Kiev regime attacked civilian targets in the city center three times during one day, firing rockets from HIMARS and Uragan systems. In addition to residential buildings, the building of the Department of Labor and Social Protection and a shuttle bus came under attack.

The terrorist practice of launching repeated strikes against the same location is part of the UAF playbook. Knowing full well that operational services and journalists would soon arrive at the sites of the shelling, the UAF launched more strikes while they were working, preventing evacuation of the wounded and dead, and also preventing emergency response personnel from fully engaging in the elimination of the consequences of the shelling.

❗️ Yesterday's attacks killed 6 and injured 55 people, including three children. Unfortunately, a doctor and an ambulance paramedic who had come to the rescue, as well as a traffic police officer, were killed, and 23 EMERCOM staff were wounded.

During the time of active combat action more than 20 cases of repeated shelling by the Ukrainian armed forces against emergency services rescuers and medics have been documented.

☝️ Given the fact that most of these strikes are carried out with long-range, high-precision Western weapons, the UAF command knew exactly where they were going to hit. And they knew that the targets of the attacks were not military but civil facilities and civilians.

These are conscious and cynical crimes that have no statute of limitation.

Speech delivered by the Head of the 🇷🇺 Delegation, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr. Aleksandr Pankin at the 42nd session of the UNESCO General Conference:

📍 Western attempts to replace the UN-centred architecture of the world order with a "rules-based order" have led to a crisis that has affected UNESCO.

📍 Russia supports the Arab initiative and the draft resolution on Gaza / Palestine - we will co-sponsor the draft.

📍 "Ukrainianisation" is leading the Organization into a deadlock, diverting resources from pressing issues in the spheres of its competence.

📍 It is necessary to return to observing UNESCO Constitution, to strengthen multilateralism, moving forward on the basis of a balance of interests, respect for civilisational diversity and the sovereign equality of States.

📍 Diplomats and experts must not be prevented from participating in Organization's activities and must not wait for months to get French visas.

Российская делегация  в ответ на выступление представителя Украины на Генконференции ЮНЕСКО:

📍Россия категорически отвергает агрессивный набор обвинений, которые не имеют отношения к реальности и являются результатом намеренной стратегии, направленной против нашей страны.

📍В результате реформы образования правительство Украины законодательно закрепило разрешение на дискриминацию русскоязычного населения; закрыло все русскоязычные школы, которые еще двадцать лет назад составляли 21% всех школ страны.

📍С 2014 г. Киев обстреливает и бомбит территории ДНР, ЛНР, Запорожской и Херсонской областей. Только на территории ДНР от рук ВСУ погиб 231 ребенок и 824 пострадало.
