Russia feels free to kill people in Ukraine and beyond – Ukraine’s Representative to UN
Pravda Ukraine
Serhii Kyslytsya, Ukraine’s Permanent Representative to the UN, has informed the Security Council about the consequences of Russia’s massive attack on Ukraine, noting that by killing “innocent people in Ukraine and abroad,” the Russian Federation feels free to do so.

Quote: “Just look at the list of targets that were so “bravely” destroyed by Russia last night. A maternity ward, educational facilities, a shopping mall, 45 multi-story residential buildings, private houses, two churches, commercial and storage facilities, and a parking lot.
Given the reports on a Russian missile intruding into the air space of Poland during the Russian strike, we reiterate that Russian air terror poses a dangerous threat not only to Ukraine but to the neighbouring countries as well.
The only way to prevent its spillover effect is to continue supporting Ukraine by further strengthening our defence capacities.”
“And as long as Russia is able to kill the credibility and integrity of the Security Council, it will feel free to kill innocent people in Ukraine and beyond.”
Previously: The United States accused Russia of purposefully distracting the UN Security Council with topics about the Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine a decade ago, while Moscow was preparing the largest missile and air strike on Ukrainian cities.
