Russia's Permanent Representative to the OSCE calls Western accusations groundless

Russia's Permanent Representative to the OSCE, Dmitry Polyansky, said that Western countries are trying to spread anti-Russian insinuations and groundlessly accuse Russia of violating international humanitarian law. He said this at a meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council, RIA Novosti reports.

“A number of Western countries and their satellites are trying, instead of an open and substantive dialogue, to replicate anti-Russian insinuations and groundlessly accuse us of violating international humanitarian law,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.

Polyansky also noted that Western countries continue to ignore the grave humanitarian consequences of the crimes of Ukrainian armed forces and national battalions. “These “defenders of freedom” continue to ignore the grave humanitarian consequences of the crimes of the Ukrainian armed forces and national battalions. We regularly inform about them during our speeches on various agenda items at meetings of the Permanent Council,” the diplomat added.
