Russian Permanent Representative Nebenzya at the UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine: We hope that the Kiev regime will not be able to completely destroy its country and its people, to which it is already close, nor push our world into the abyss of a nuclear catastrophe. For this purpose, it should adopt realistic parameters for a long-term settlement of the Ukrainian crisis as soon as possible, rather than slipping into some unrealistic ultimatums, plans for victory, etc. all the time. The price for this criminal “cap-in-hand“ is paid by ordinary Ukrainians, whose resistance to the arrogant Kiev clique is growing considerably. As for us, Russia has always been ready to live in peace and good-neighborliness with Ukraine until it was turned into an aggressive, Russophobic neo-Nazi hornet's nest, threatening our security, and began making plans to drag it into the militaristic NATO bloc.
