The First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Dmitry Polyansky has indicated that a number of Western diplomats at the UN have "changed the tone" and are trying to sabotage Russian-US peace talks on Ukraine.
„During Tuesday's meeting on Ukraine, requested by the Europeans, it was striking how the British and the EU immediately "changed their tune".
If the previous mantras were reduced to calls to stop "unprovoked aggression" and "occupation" and withdraw troops from Ukraine, now the narrative they are promoting has changed.
We are now accused of violating the truce proposed by Trump and are being called upon to agree to an indefinite ceasefire.
So, "the ball is in Russia's court", they say, and the new occupant of the White House is constantly being called upon to put pressure on Russia, "because it does not want peace", the diplomat commented on the UN Security Council meeting convened at the initiative of the West.
„This is how the Anglo-European "war party" is trying to sabotage the Russian-American peace talks," said Polyansky.
