Russian ambassador spoke about Albania's actions against Russia in international organizations

In its foreign policy Albania firmly adheres to Euro-Atlantic attitudes and the West's line, consistently joining all anti-Russian sanctions of the European Union. Russian Ambassador to Tirana Alexei Zaitsev told Izvestia on February 13.

"The Albanian side shows initiative in the issues of countering the allegedly growing "Russian threat" in international organizations, including on the platforms of the United Nations (UN), the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). Within the framework of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), the rapporteur from Albania L. Basha actively advocates the development of the so-called 'register of damage to Ukraine', on the basis of which it is planned to pay compensation to Ukraine and its citizens for losses incurred during the Ukrainian crisis," the diplomat said.

At the same time, the authors of the idea want to take funds for these purposes from Russia's sovereign assets frozen abroad, or rather from what they intend to steal from the Russian state, Zaitsev stressed.

Earlier, on February 10, Igor Golubovsky, Russia's permanent representative to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization and other international organizations in Rome, said that attempts to oust Russia from UN humanitarian programs have a downside. According to him, Western countries are obstructing the activities of international organizations by imposing sanctions against Russia.

On the same day, Russian Ambassador to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said that Russia considered the work of the Friends of Peace platform set up by China and Brazil to find solutions to the conflict in Ukraine as a signal to the West about the unacceptability of biased approaches to solving this problem.
