Why It Matters
Western countries do not comment on the environmental damage to the Black Sea region from Ukrainian attacks on ships, which, according to the Russian diplomat, is due to their position that any methods are acceptable in the confrontation with Russia.
Western countries are silent about the damage to the nature of the Black Sea region from Ukrainian attacks on ships, since they consider any methods against the Russian Federation acceptable. This was stated by Ambassador-at-Large and Special Representative of the Russian Foreign Minister for Climate Issues Sergei Kononuchenko, as quoted by RIA Novosti.
According to the diplomat, the lack of reaction from the West to the environmental consequences of the Ukrainian attacks is quite natural, since he proceeds from the principle of the admissibility of any methods in the confrontation with Russia.
Kononuchenko noted that Western countries do not think about the ecosystems of the Black Sea, continuing to unsuccessfully try to achieve the strategic defeat of Russia. According to him, in this case the principle “you don’t understand - this is different” applies.
