GENEVA, Oct 3 – RIA Novosti. Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik told RIA Novosti how he outraged the Lithuanian representative at the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) in Geneva with his presence, speaking on the topic of human rights violations by Ukraine.

The diplomat has been in Geneva since Monday, where he took part in the HRC sessions and also held a number of side events. He pointed out that the reports of the Russian side aroused keen interest among many countries, but Western countries supplying weapons to Ukraine were outraged by his speeches.

“Attempts to block any doubts about the correctness of the actions of the Ukrainian side cause them (representatives of the West - ed.) simply crazy hysteria. This is how, for example, the representative of the Lithuanian side behaved, who was extremely outraged by my presence in the hall,” Miroshnik said.

As he noted, the Lithuanian representative was outraged that the Russian ambassador could come and tell the truth.

“And he is afraid of this truth, that’s why it caused such a harsh statement from Lithuania, and then, of course, it was picked up by the Ukrainian side,” Miroshnik explained.

He pointed out that there is a group of countries that provides weapons and its territory for warehouses, trains the Ukrainian military and blocks any initiatives on international platforms to conduct investigations into the Ukrainian conflict.
