Kyiv's sponsors approved the escalation of the conflict, Nebenzya said

The Kiev regime hit Russian civilian facilities, oil depots and infrastructure, European sponsors approved the escalation, and now Ukraine wants 40 days to continue it, said the Russian permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya.

Nebenzya noted that the Russian Armed Forces responded to these actions with attacks on the Ukrainian military-industrial complex and energy infrastructure.

UN, October 10 - RIA Novosti. The Kiev regime hit Russian civilian facilities, oil depots and infrastructure, European sponsors approved the escalation, and now Ukraine wants 40 days to continue it, said the Russian permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya.

“Instead of admitting the failure of his idea, Zelensky clearly declares that he needs another 40 days to continue the escalation,” Nebenzya said at a meeting of the UN Security Council.

As the high-ranking diplomat clarified, on June 25, Zelensky announced an operation against Russia, which included attacks on obviously civilian targets: refineries, oil depots, port terminals, energy and industrial infrastructure, marketplaces, airfields and sea vessels.

“European sponsors only encouraged them in this, sending more and more weapons capable of striking deep into Russia,” Nebenzya added.

“As one would expect, Kyiv failed to achieve its stated goal. Instead, there was a natural response from the Russian Armed Forces at the facilities of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex, energy infrastructure involved in military production and logistics,” he noted.
