The Ambassador of Ukraine, Ihor Ostach, considered, in a statement, in response to a television interview of the Ambassador of Russia, Alexander Rudakov, that “when ordinary people circulate false information, it means that they do not have access to the true, correct information; and if they circulate misleading media information, it means that they either do not They know how to verify information or they are performing a propaganda mission; but if the disinformation is circulated and circulated by diplomats, it is a sign of professional incompetence.”
He added, “I would next like to refute the statement of the Russian ambassador in Lebanon, item by item: Calling a bloody war with a military operation 9 days following it began, when it is practically a war on the Internet, and when the world watches with its own eyes practically all the Russian war crimes from the scene of events, this betrays In the first place regarding unprofessionalism, and in the second place, it is an inhuman act.With regard to the claim that the infrastructure was not damaged, I draw your attention to the following facts: the Russian army bombed with heavy artillery the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, the Zaporizhia plant; from thermal power stations, mainly in the city of Okhtyrka The civilian population of dozens of cities and towns became unheated in the middle of winter Infrastructure was destroyed in the cities of Kharkiv, Mariupol, Sumy, Kherson, Volnovakha, around Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Zhytomyr; More than 500 Grad and Iskander missiles fell on Ukraine, and Kalibr cruise missiles were fired at towns and cities in Ukraine.”
He continued: “We are now on the cusp of the greatest man-made catastrophe in human history. Talking regarding the fact that the Russian army is operating so meticulously has become a vile joke in the world: maternity hospitals, children’s institutions, entire residential districts were destroyed in the cities of Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Bucha, Borodinka and Bila Tserkva.A catastrophe has also befallen the cultural heritage: a museum in Kyiv province containing priceless paintings by the genius Ukrainian artist Maria Primachenko has been destroyed.But the most important thing is that peaceful people and civilians suffer.Now the number of civilian casualties has reached 2,000. More than thirty children were victims of the bombing. This is within only 9 days of the war. The whole international community is amazed: Russia spent money on armaments for many years, and threw away its petrodollars not for the welfare of the people, but for the sake of the army, and to call themselves a name The most powerful army in the world, this army that has proven incompetence! The myth of the indomitable Russian army has been dispelled. This army has, according to world intelligence, laid down more than 80 percent of its weapons on Ukraine, a small, peaceful country, you are not fighting once morest the army Ukrainian, you are already fighting once morest the civilian population of Ukraine. Once once more, it is very sad to see the Kremlin sending its young soldiers of 18-19-20 years old to turn into cannon fodder: as of the morning of March 4, the Russian army had lost 9,166 men.
In addition: the Russian military war machine was destroyed, and as of the morning of March 4, the following losses were counted: 269 tanks, 939 armored vehicles, 105 artillery systems, 50 rocket launchers, 19 air defense systems, 39 warplanes (to be determined). 40 helicopters (to be specified), 409 vehicles, 2 light speedboats, 60 fuel tanks, 3 drones.
He added: “Dear Ambassador, what you claim regarding Nazism once morest a country that lived a peaceful and democratic life for 30 years and achieved unprecedented successes in the economy, culture and science, where the people speak Ukrainian and Russian languages fluently, means that you did not pass the test of diplomatic awareness. You directed the offense To more than half of the population of Ukraine, who speak Russian in daily life and build Ukraine together with Ukrainian-speaking citizens.You see how the citizens of Kharkiv, Mariupol, Odessa, Sumy and Chernihiv are ready to die for the defense of their cities, and how Kherson did not You surrender to the occupier The world has long since become different from what the Kremlin’s propaganda channels are promoting. What you considered that some countries voted in the United Nations General Assembly under American pressure is an insult to the entire diplomatic community and all diplomats personally from 140 countries, including the vast majority of Arabs and in particular Lebanon.
“With your words, you also insult the leaders of those countries, who expressed their firm rejection of the Russian aggression once morest Ukraine. Ambassador, you also said that you cannot compare all the invasions of NATO and America with those carried out by Russia. Yes, the whole world, in turn, cannot This is why the International Criminal Court in The Hague will look into Russian war crimes, and by the way, the Prosecutor, who is Karim Khan, a Muslim, has received sufficient requests to launch an investigation into Russia’s crimes in Ukraine and has begun to act A team of investigators from the Hague Tribunal have already arrived in Ukraine.”
He concluded: “We understand that Russian diplomacy is currently going through a deep crisis. But today, we simply hope that you will remain human. We are fighting for our freedom, and victory will certainly be ours!”
