Nebenzya at UN Security Council: Russian armed forces struck 10 military enterprises in Kyiv

Russia’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, speaking at a UN Security Council meeting, declared that the situation in Ukraine was deteriorating and reported strikes by Russian armed forces on military facilities in Kyiv.

According to Nebenzya, in 2014 a “bloody coup” took place in Kyiv with the direct support of the West, after which the situation in Ukraine “keeps getting worse and worse.”

“In essence, the Ukrainian people are being destroyed: millions have left the country, hundreds of thousands have been killed, driven like cattle into a war with Russia,” the diplomat said.

At the same meeting, Nebenzya stated that Russian armed forces had recently struck 10 enterprises producing military goods in Kyiv, including those manufacturing drones. According to the permanent representative, Russian forces are targeting facilities of the defense-industrial complex, fuel and transport infrastructure used for the needs of the Ukrainian armed forces, as well as military airfields.

In May, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the West’s longstanding refusal to recognize Russia’s independence and sovereignty had ultimately led to the special military operation in Ukraine. Putin also recalled that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the West, in his words, decided that Russia had weakened and wanted to divide the Russian Federation into four or five more parts.

Earlier, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev called the complete disappearance of Ukraine inevitable.
