We present excerpts from the speech of the Russian Federation Minister of abroad Affairs Sergei Jurov at the UN safety Council gathering on Ukraine. This material does not reflect editorial views. It serves only about readers of the position of the Russian Federation authorities on the war in Ukraine, which is not available in the Polish information space.
“Today we are discussing the situation in Ukraine one more time in the context of the continuous supply of western arms to the country and sending Western mercenaries there, as confirmed by fresh efforts to destruct French mercenaries in Kharkiv.
For the vast majority of uninvolved experts, it is clear that the key origin hindering the search for a peaceful solution to the Ukrainian crisis is the continued support of the West for the Kiev regime, despite its apparent agony and the inability to carry out the mission of Russia's "strategic defeat" imposed on it, or, as has late been said, at least to weaken my country.
The reality is that despite the full defeat of Ukrainian armed forces on the battlefield, the western patron saint of the Kiev government with manic stubbornness inactive forces him to proceed a pointless military confrontation. This is under false slogan that the collapse of the Zelenski government is allegedly a “existential threat” to Ukrainians, whom Russia wants to “slave”. For those who understood the genesis of the Ukrainian crisis, it is apparent that there is not a single shred of fact in these claims. Russia launched a peculiar military operation in February 2022 not against Ukraine and not against the Ukrainian nation, with which we inactive have brotherly ties: it is no coincidence that nearly 7 million Ukrainians found salvation in Russia after 2014.
We were forced to launch a military operation against a criminal government that had had adequate sense of impunity and did not want, despite our many years of efforts, to quit the war against our own citizens in the south and south-east of Ukraine and the policy of full discrimination against Russian-speaking Ukrainians, who are inactive the majority in the country.
This was done by the Zelenski regime, violating not only the Minsk agreements accepted by the UN safety Council, but besides the simple principles of the functioning of civilized society and grossly violating fundamental human rights, including the rights of national minorities enshrined in the Ukrainian Constitution. Western curators of the Kiev regime, who stood behind the anti-constitutional coup in Kiev 10 years ago, not only failed to halt the Kiev leaders from clicking all this time, but besides quietly armed Ukraine and prepared it for war with Russia under the cover of a Minsk package of measures. We know this present from the evidence straight active in this form that developed and signed the Minsk Agreements and submitted them for approval by the UN safety Council.
The origin that led the West to specified cynical and criminal behaviour is obvious. In Washington and another capitals recently, it has been said openly that without losing the lives of their own soldiers, The West wages war with Ukrainians and Russia, which must be "placed in its place". U.S. president Biden even called this situation a “great investment”. akin thoughts were expressed by another American officials and their colleagues from Mglist Albion.
In an effort to get its opponents in legislature to agree to a fresh aid package for Ukraine, representatives of the current administration sound even more cynical. In particular, we have learned from their speeches that 90 percent of the military budget allocated by the Americans to the Kiev government remains in the United States and is utilized to make the military-industrial sector of the country and to renew weapons. Old "drash" are disposed of in Ukraine. Most of the major Ukrainian factories and companies, including lithium producers, were sold to the same Americans. Fertile lands were given to them in perpetual lease at a low price. 1 striking example is the acquisition by the structures of Soros of black earths to bury waste from the western chemical industry. U.S. Secretary of State Blinken stresses that further assistance to Ukraine is simply a warrant of creating fresh jobs in the US. It's like we're not talking about backing a war that's already consumed hundreds of thousands of lives in Ukraine, but any profitable business project.
For Europeans – I turn to their reasonable part – it is time to wake up and realize that with the aid of the Zelenski government The United States is not only fighting a war against Russia, but is besides solving the strategical task of rapidly weakening Europe as an economical competitor. Washington has undermined its energy security, causing dangerous crisis trends in the European economy and the social sphere. I won't even halt at terrorist attacks on Nord Stream gas pipelines. The United States deliberately blocks any effort to conduct a fair global investigation, and current European leaders, primarily in Germany, are obediently silent, reconciled with public humiliation.
Meanwhile, most EU members proceed to obey Washington's orders to deliver fresh arms to Kiev, emptying their arsenals, which will, of course, be supplemented by purchases of products from the U.S. military and industrial complex. Europeans will be forced to find money for this.
Death traders do not care at all that their weapons, including cluster ammunition and depleted uranium missiles, methodically, absolutely, intentionally and consciously hit purely civilian objects, as was the case in the case of attacks on residential areas in Bielgorod on 30 December 2023 and yesterday, January 21, that year, to markets and shops in Donetsk.
The blood of tens of killed civilians is on the hands and conscience of those who defend the Zelenski government and at the same time officially declare that the Kiev authorities have the right to choose their own targets. We remember the Anglo-Saxons bombing Dresden in February 1945 without any military need, as not long ago they razed Iraqi Mosul and Syrian Cancer. Now they are nurturing their barbarous terrorist methods for “decent successors”.
Mr Zelenski's crazy long-term pumping of weapons into a completely corrupt government has another very dangerous dimension. To maximize the profits from the conflict, those in power in Kiev will simply resell part of the arms supplied by the West on the black market. You can find quite a few specified announcements in the darknet. It is hard to imagine that this happens without the cognition and participation of Western businessmen, due to the fact that "the hand washes." 1 fresh example is the U.S. M-16 rifles handed over to Kiev, which anyone can buy for cryptocurrency through online announcements. Of course, terrorist groups exploit this situation. Weapons fall into their hands and spread in Africa, the mediate East and Latin America, even more undermining already unstable regions of the world.
This scandalous situation has reached specified size that it is no longer possible to stay silent. Even the United States had to officially admit this problem. A fresh Pentagon study says that the weapons intended for the Ukrainian armed forces leaked over a billion dollars (I am certain it is simply a modest estimate). Forty 1000 weapons, including drones and grenade launchers, were simply "not settled in time" due to the fact that no inventory was carried out. As I realize it, the American inspectors now went to Kiev to see what the situation was like. We want them luck.
Mr President,
We have heard many times and will most likely proceed to hear from our Western colleagues a cunning thesis that "if Russia stops fighting, the war will end and if Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine will end". At the highest levels of the US, it is even said that Russia will attack Poland, the Baltic countries and Finland after this. What they won't come up with in the hope of getting money out of legislature and European Parliaments, convincing them of the request for continuous and further aid Ukraine to the detriment of its citizens to the last dollar and euro. Demanding Russia to halt a peculiar military operation, they realize perfectly that if this had happened suddenly, the Kiev regime, licking wounds, would have continued its course of extermination of everything Russian and Russian cultural, historical and spiritual identity that existed on these lands for centuries. The Zelenski government would proceed to advance a terribly hateful nationalism of another for the majority of the population, glorifying those who, together with the Nazis, exterminated hundreds of thousands of Jews, Roma, Russians, Poles and Ukrainians during planet War II. The dictatorship would be strengthened, the fight against opposition and any opposition would continue, and the ranks of political prisoners would multiply. And Western democracies would proceed to look at what is happening “through their fingers” and with approval to stay silent.
As they do now, even after an American citizen, writer Gonzalo Lira, was tortured to death in the detention of the Ukrainian safety Service for publishing nonsubjective materials critical of the Zelenski regime. Did anyone in the West, especially in the United States, say a word about it (I mean officials)? And today, Western delegations and representatives of the Kiev government are improbable to find the courage to comment in any way on this further gross crime of Zelenski and his cliques. Instead, we inactive hear voices about “Russian aggression” and assurances of unwavering support for the Kiev regime. The lying and cowardlyness of his patrons was clearly demonstrated during the vile staging in Buczy in April 2022: our many demands to give at least the names of the people who were allegedly killed by Russian soldiers at the time stay unanswered. I have personally referred respective times to the UN Secretary-General, but unsuccessfully. Clearly, he must not even effort to establish the fact that would exposure Western puppeteers.
What would happen if Ukraine stopped fighting? Hundreds of thousands of those whose Kiev authorities are now trying to capture like cattle in the streets, in bars and churches, and send them as “gun meat” to die for Western geopolitical interests and, as they say, “for democratic values”, will surely preserve their lives.
In the war against Russia, the interests of the Ukrainian people were gone and inactive no. There are only the interests of the Anglo-Saxons, their minions, and their criminal, rotten Kiev leadership, which is associated with the West common warrant and which fears that it will be swept distant the day after the end of the war. Together they sabotaged the Minsk Agreements and together they crossed out the chance in April 2022 erstwhile the US and the United Kingdom prohibited Kiev from concluding a peace treaty. present they do not want peace, even though the government in Kiev only survives thanks to Western sponsorships. This is even recognized by his “talking heads.” ...
