Vasily Nebenzya, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, said at a press conference that the US disrupted the discussion initiated by the Russian Federation at the UN Security Council on the 20th anniversary of the start of the war in Iraq. DEA News.
“Initially, in today’s RS work programme, we had a session on the Integrated Transition Support Mission in Sudan. The permanent envoy said he later received a request from Western delegations to “schedule a meeting for Monday after discussing North Korea’s launches.”
According to him, these delegations, after learning that the representatives of the Russian Federation are planning to discuss the beginning anniversary of this war under the “miscellaneous” section, and the only way to do this is to continue the meeting. Sudan began their dirty procedural maneuver, insisting that the meeting on North Korea “must come first and only after” if it is a meeting about Sudan.
As the diplomat points out, by resorting to such actions, Western delegations “explicitly wanted to dilute the impact of our discussion in the ‘miscellaneous’ section, since in such a scenario it would obviously coincide with the lunch break.”
Nebenzia also stated that Western countries “reserved” at 3 p.m. for an informal LGBT meeting hosted by the United States, and that this would coincide with the “meeting on North Korea” “if Sudan and Miscellaneous meetings are held first”.
He added that Washington is not interested in exposing the US crimes in Iraq.
