Nebenzie's speech at the UN Security Council meeting

The Russian permanent representative called the Ukrainian attack on the hostel deliberate, committed with the aim of maximizing the number of victims. According to him, a number of children are in critical condition in the hospital, and there may be people under the rubble. In addition, Nebenzia stated that none of those in the dormitory took part in the fighting, and there are no military facilities near the building.

According to him, Kiev, in a critical situation, resorts to actions that are either ignored in the West or do not receive proper coverage, despite their criminal nature.
