March 9, 2024 (EIRNS)—With biting irony, Russian First Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dmitry Polyanskiy told the March 8 meeting of the Security Council that Russia would be requesting a UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine for March 22.
“It would have been nice if NATO’s representatives in the [UN] Security Council explained to us the alliance’s devious logic,” Polyanskiy began. “Its leaders initially told us that NATO should expand into Ukraine because Russia would never attack a NATO member state. However, we hear today that Russia cannot be allowed to win in Ukraine, because after that it will move further and attack NATO.”
