Polyansky: The West wants to put Ukraine first, despite the war in Gaza
Western countries, despite the crisis in the Middle East and the war in the Gaza Strip, want to put Ukraine at the forefront of all discussions at the UN. This RIA Novosti said the First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky.
“They obviously want to put Ukraine at the forefront of every issue that the UN discusses. It’s very strange because there are many crises going on, including a very acute crisis in the Middle East,” he said.
Before that, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in New York to take part in UN events. He will speak at the Future Summit at UN Headquarters, take part in a meeting of the UN Security Council, and also speak at the debates in the General Assembly (GA).
Earlier, the head of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Leonid Slutsky said that the UN General Assembly participants should reject Zelensky’s requests, as they could lead to an escalation of the conflict. The politician addressed a similar appeal to US presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
