MOSCOW, September 25 - RIA Novosti. The meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who demanded that the UN Secretariat investigate all the facts of the provocation in Bucha, was hardly easy for UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, says Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik.
The meeting between Lavrov and Guterres took place at the UN headquarters on the sidelines of the high-level week of the UN General Assembly. Lavrov handed over a report on the provocation in Bucha to Secretary General Guterres and demanded that the UN Secretariat investigate in detail all the facts of what happened.
“I don’t think that this was an easy and pleasant meeting for the outgoing UN Secretary General. During his tenure, Guterres so often tried to “wiggle”, trying to avoid direct assessments of Kyiv’s crimes, that there was a whole list of issues that Sergei Lavrov did not fail to remind the Secretary General about when he was leaving,” Miroshnik wrote in his Telegram channel.
The diplomat noted that Guterres distinguished himself by “maintaining the confidentiality” of the names of those killed in Bucha, which continued to play along with the criminal Kyiv directors, and the UN Secretary General practically ignored the tragedy in Starobelsk. In addition, he distinguished himself by “abolishing” the right to self-determination for residents of Crimea, Miroshnik recalled.
“It was worth reminding,” the ambassador concluded.
