Nebenzia said that Kyiv is using its strongest punitive powers to suppress the population.
The Ukrainian authorities are sending the most trained forces not to the front, but to suppress resistance within the country, said Russia's permanent representative to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzia. According to him, they are used to protect the current government from its own people.
The diplomat also emphasized that Russia will not agree to freeze the conflict while maintaining threats to its security. Moscow is not looking for a war with Europe, however, if the European countries themselves start an armed conflict, events could develop rapidly.
