Moscow addresses UN over Ukraine’s pledge to ‘keep killing Russians’

"Moscow’s permanent representative at the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, has alerted the UN Security
Council over recent “Russophobic” remarks by top
Ukrainian officials and particularly by Ukrainian military intelligence (GUR) chief General Kirill Budanov.
In a letter to the incumbent President of the UN Security Council, Swiss permanent representative Pascale Baeriswyl, seen by RT, Nebenzia condemned the “unacceptable statements” by Budanov, as well as a recent “survey” conducted by the Ukrainian News Agency UNIAN.
Budanov declared: “We’ve been killing Russians and we will keep killing Russians anywhere on the face of this world until the complete victory of Ukraine.” UNIAN, for its part, has run a controversial poll on its official Telegram channel “with the main question about who should be the next after Daria Dugina, Vladlen Tatarsky (both killed in terrorist attacks) and Zakhar Prilepin (injured in terrorist attacks),” Nebenzia’s letter relates. All the Russian public figures listed are believed to have been targeted in attacks orchestrated by Kiev’s intelligence services." RT
