Russian Envoy Says International Bodies Turn a Blind Eye to Ukrainian Terrorism Against Russian Civilians
Russian Special Envoy Rodion Meroshnyk said that representatives of international organisations are turning a blind eye to Kyiv’s terrorist attacks targeting civilians on Russian territory, noting that such neglect contradicts humanitarian law.
UN Visit and Its Limited Impact
Meroshnyk highlighted the visit of Vanessa Freiser, the UN Secretary‑General’s special envoy for children and armed conflict, to Belgorod. He described the trip as emotionally moving but noted it failed to trigger any concrete international response. He said diplomats saw children’s tears, yet no substantial global action followed.
The envoy stressed that Russia does not harbor unrealistic expectations of the world’s reaction and will continue its policy of “transparency and openness,” seeking unbiased international officials who can reveal the truth beyond “ready‑made propaganda” that unjustly blames Moscow.
Escalating Conflict Background
His remarks came as Ukrainian strikes on Russian civilian targets intensified. The Tatarstan government reported a drone attack on Monday morning that killed 13 people and wounded around 40, prompting a regional day of mourning.
Meroshnyk accused the West of preferring to blame Russia while ignoring Ukraine’s violations of international humanitarian law, describing this as part of a criminal strategy to distort global perception.
Concluding, he called on the international community to stop justifying killings and destruction and to hold all parties accountable for civilian rights violations.
