UN Security Council condemns Russian attacks on energy: US calls it a mockery of peace.

According to ТСН: The actions of the Kremlin are becoming clear to the whole world: with the onset of severe frosts in Ukraine, Russia has intensified its strikes on energy facilities. The emergency meeting of the UN Security Council turned into an active condemnation of Russia's actions, as the American side for the first time stated that Putin is jeopardizing the peaceful efforts of Donald Trump.

'A mockery of the peace process': the US position

US representative to the UN Tammy Bruce became the first American official to sharply condemn the actions of the Kremlin in the new context of the president's policy. She emphasized that strikes on civilian objects are not only a war crime but also a personal insult to the intermediaries from the White House.

Tammy Bruce, Deputy US Ambassador to the UN: “We condemn that Russia continues to escalate attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities. These attacks are a mockery of the peace process, which is of primary importance for the world and President Trump.”

Lies about Valdai and acknowledgment of crimes

Russian representative Vasily Nebenzya attempted to distract attention from the problems with electricity in the Belgorod region by repeating the fake claim about a 'strike on Putin's residence.' Meanwhile, he unexpectedly acknowledged that Russia intentionally destroys energy networks, which is prohibited by international conventions, arguing that rear cities 'support the resilience of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.'

'Guys, we're done for': a harsh response from Andriy Melnyk

Ukrainian Ambassador Andriy Melnyk characterized the Russian strikes as 'a slap in the face of American intermediaries.' He emphasized that the use of 'Oreshnik' type missiles near the borders of the EU indicates Putin's true intentions, which are far from peace.

In conclusion of his speech, Melnyk addressed the Russian delegation in Russian:

Andriy Melnyk, Ukrainian Ambassador to the UN: 'Modern Russia is like a colossus on clay feet, and it is only a matter of time before this house of cards falls. Our message to Russia is very simple, and I will say it in Russian, as you claim that this language is oppressed in Ukraine: 'That's it, guys, we’re done for. Dry your oars and weave bast shoes.' The game for you is over.

It is worth noting that the Security Council meeting, dedicated to previous shelling, coincided with a new wave of aerial attacks by Russia on Ukrainian cities. Recent events indicate further escalation of the conflict, leaving a negative mark on the overall security in the region.
