This afternoon, the countries participating in the Security Council (China, the United States, France, the United Kingdom and Russia) and the invited countries met at the UN headquarters, and the only issue dealt with was the invasion of Ukraine.

The UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, has said that more than one billion people are aging in the world because of the conflict in Ukraine. On the other hand, he stressed that this conflict "is making the victims meaningless" and added that the victims. On the alleged war crimes of Butxa, he said that "he will never" forget those pictures of eta.

Zelenski, critical of international structures

At this last meeting of the UN Security Council, Zelenski has attacked the community and international structures: "What is the Security Council doing? Where is it? It is clear that the main international structure for ensuring peace cannot act effectively. The world has seen what Russian forces have done in Butxa, but they have not yet seen what they have done in other cities."

For his part, Zelenski has stated that he has been in Butxa checking up alleged crimes committed by the Russians and has said that there are more peoples in which similar things have been done. According to the Ukrainian president, 300 people have been found in Butxa alone and more than 410 bodies of people have been found in the vicinity of Kiev in total.

Zelenski has also criticized the fact that Russia is a final member of the Security Council and is entitled to a veto, and has underlined that this position allows Russia to continue to act with impunity: "Do you think international law doesn't make sense anymore? If your answer is no, do it right away. In this regard, the US president has stated that Russia must be expelled from the UN Human Rights Council.

Zelenski added that the UN system must change completely: "The important thing now is to change the UN system, which is at stake. I propose the organisation of an international conference in Kiev to discuss a reform of the international security system." In this regard, he added that, if peace cannot be guaranteed, the last option would be the dissolution of the UN.

Russia: "The butxako is an assembly."

Shortly after the alleged war crimes of Butxa have drawn the attention of the international media, Russia said that it is a montage, and today they have responded with the same attitude. Russian representative Vasili Nebenzia said that the evidence provided by the Ukrainian and Western media on the alleged massacres in Butxa is inconsistent and added: They've only taught you what you wanted to see.

As for the Western countries, Nebenzia points out the following: "The Western countries don't care about Ukraine, it's just another pawn they have in the fight with Russia. They're just interested in prolonging the conflict."

In addition to describing Butxa's alleged crimes as an assembly, he said that there are many people who want to testify to "some of the crimes committed by Ukraine's neo-Nazis." "Today again we have heard many lies about the Russian military. We have tons of videos and photos that demonstrate the brutality of the Ukrainian forces. Neo-Nazis and Ukrainian radicals use civilians as human shields. They hold heavy artillery near civilian infrastructures."
