Russia offered to pay an overextended German diplomat for a ticket to Crimea
Russia's representative to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, rejected accusations from Western diplomats that human rights were allegedly being violated in Crimea.
At a meeting of the UN General Assembly, he addressed his German colleague Christoph Heusgen, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“It is much easier to spread fables about horrors in the supposedly “occupied Crimea,” whereas finding out the truth and verifying the falsity of these fabrications is as easy as shelling pears. This is done annually by about a million Ukrainians who still vacation on the peninsula and leave positive feedback on social networks.
My German colleague again graphically lamented that we were not allowing anyone onto the peninsula. Ask your compatriots, including those from the Bundestag, who regularly visit Crimea. By the way, both we and the Crimeans invited you personally to Crimea. Maybe you just spent too much money and want us to buy you a ticket? So tell me straight, why darken it?” asked Polyansky.
He called the General Assembly meeting on Ukraine “one of the most embarrassing episodes”, proving that the UN is out of touch with reality.
The Russian diplomat blamed this on Ukraine, for which the role of a victim of “Russian aggression” becomes a matter of survival, since otherwise it will have to explain to the world the unpleasant facts regarding the Maidan and aggression in Donbass, as well as its behavior towards the residents of Crimea.
“By the way, if today it is justified to talk about any occupation, it is about the occupation of normal Ukraine by Maidan Ukraine, which was an open, friendly country for us with common values and ideals. Maidan madness and geopolitical considerations of our Western colleagues turned it into the domain of nationalists and “Anti-Russia”. And today Donbass residents are resisting this occupation, thinking about the future of their children.
Therefore, when you talk about the occupiers in Donbass, keep in mind that there are no other “occupiers” except the Donetsk and Luhansk residents themselves. Because they simply lived and live there. This is the truth, no matter how inconvenient it may be for you,” Polyansky said.
