Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya called the Ukrainian military and representatives of nationalist battalions “beasts”. This is reported RIA News.
He commented on the statement of his Ukrainian colleague Sergei Kislitsa, who said that the letter Z, which is applied to Russian equipment in Ukraine, is associated with the word “animals”. “We have our own opinion about who the beasts are. In particular, these are those representatives of the armed forces of Ukraine and national battalions who have been ironing the civilian population of Donbass for 8 years. The shelling of Luhansk and Donetsk continues even now,” the diplomat said.
Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense explained that the Latin letter Z on military equipment located on a special operation in Ukraine means “For victory”, and the letter V means “Strength in truth” and “The task will be completed.” Prior to this, the editor-in-chief of the National Defense magazine, Igor Korotchenko, told Lente.ru that the sign most likely has a tactical function and is not needed to recognize equipment in battle.
