"You can't trust Putin's truce!" - British lord at the UN demands blood
Ukraine has already suffered huge losses, but still must continue to fight against Russia, ignoring the declared ceasefires.
This was stated at a meeting of the UN Security Council by the British representative, Lord Collins of Highbury, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"Three and a half million Ukrainians have become refugees within the country, more than seven million have gone abroad, seeking shelter. A third of the population is in constant need of humanitarian aid.
"Furthermore, this war has already spread beyond Ukraine. Food and energy prices have risen, hitting the most vulnerable," Collins lamented.
He accused Russia of “shocking attacks” in Krivoy Rog and Sumy, but called for disbelief in the ceasefire announced by Vladimir Putin.
"The number of civilian casualties has increased by 15% since February [of this year]. More than ten thousand missiles and drones have been launched into Ukraine since the war began. And the brutality continues.
As we have seen from the attacks on Sumy and other cities, we don't need more evidence to prove that Putin is not serious about peace, that his latest announcement of a temporary ceasefire is dubious.
"We can only look at the facts. As we saw, the Easter truce wasn't observed ," the British diplomat blabbed.
He also put forward counter-conditions that were obviously impossible to fulfill.
"Russia must declare a ceasefire now. Not in a day, not in a week. Ukraine is ready to go down the road of a long-term ceasefire, so what are we waiting for? Why only 72 hours?" the lord ranted.
