The issue of a government official publicly threatening to assassinate civilians and public officials was put before the UN Security Council (UNSC) yesterday. The incumbent President of the UNSC, Switzerland’s permanent representative Pascale Baeriswyl, was presented with a letter from Moscow’s permanent representative at the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, on the recent “Russophobic” remarks by top Ukrainian officials — in particular, those of Ukrainian military intelligence (GUR) chief General Kirill Budanov.
It cited Budanov’s response, when asked about Kiev’s involvement in the assassination of Russian journalist Darya Dugina in Moscow: “We’ve been killing Russians and we will keep killing Russians anywhere on the face of this world until the complete victory of Ukraine.” The letter also cited Kiev’s news outlet UNIAN for its poll on its official Telegram channel “with the main question about who should be the next after Daria Dugina, Vladlen Tatarsky (both killed in terrorist attacks) and Zakhar Prilepin (injured in terrorist attacks).” Readers are to do their small part in joining the terrorist world of Budanov.
Nebenzia asserted: “These manifestations of hate speech, Russophobia, incitement to violence on the basis of nationality are, at a minimum, a flagrant violation of the rules of the International Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination.”
