United Nations: Security Council on Ukraine | Claims of "Russophobia" - March 15, 2023

Russian Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya (14 Mar) told the Security Council that the principles of Integral Ukrainian Nationalism are based “on the supremacy of the Ukrainian nation over others” and said this was “the reason why Russophobia has become the ideology of an independent Ukraine.”
Nebenzya said “the main principle that they formulated sounds like this, ‘Moskali (ethnic slur for Russian nationals), Hungarians, Poles and Jews are the enemies of the Ukrainian people” and added that “this is the reason why Russophobia has become the ideology of an independent Ukraine and this process has tangibly accelerated after the so-called Orange revolution of 2004, and particularly after the anti-constitutional coup d’état, which happened in 2014.”
The Russian Ambassador, addressing a Security Council debate on the issue of Russophobia, said, “as a result of the anti-constitutional coup d’état in 2014, Ukraine definitively became an anti-Russia and Russophobia was exalted to the status of the state policy. The activists of the Maidan did not hide their misanthropic Russophobic views. And their foreign sponsors were very, very much aware of that fact.”
For his part, Ukraine’s representative Serhii Dvornyk said, “false claims about discrimination of Germans” were used by the Nazis “as a justification for the aggressive expansionism, annexations and atrocities,” leading to Nazi propagandists being tried at Nuremberg.
Dvornyk told the Council that “the Kremlin criminal regime should also find itself in the docks after the military defeat in Ukraine.”
He said, “it will be up to the future tribunal to establish the accountability of all responsible for issuing criminal orders, implementing these orders and whitewashing them for internal and international audiences.
