🎙️Rinat Alyautdinov, Permanent Delegate of 🇷🇺 to UNESCO, at the Executive Board on UNESCO's activities in Ukraine:
📍 Behind the demagogy of Western countries there is a desire to hide the responsibility for the root causes of the conflict in Ukraine and its current continuation, to hinder efforts to find a peaceful settlement.
📍 UNESCO's activities in Ukraine are one-sided, ignoring manifestations of nazism, violations of the rights of the Russian-speaking population, persecution of priests, and Kiev's gross violations of international humanitarian law, which, among other things, prohibits the placement of military facilities and weapons on the territory of civilian institutions, as happened in Sumy, the site where a meeting of Ukrainian military and mercenaries took place.
📍The Secretariat's report on Ukraine contains sweeping accusations, non-consensual terminology, and non-mandatory provisions.
📍 The proposed draft decision is null and void for us.
