MOSCOW, July 10. /TASS/. The statements by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemning Russia in the context of the Ukraine conflict demonstrate his political leaning and lack of foresight, showing blind support for the criminal Kiev regime, according to a statement from the Russian Foreign Ministry.
"On July 5, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres once again made inflammatory remarks regarding the Ukrainian crisis. Guterres strongly condemned 'the latest series of large-scale drone and missile attacks by the Russian Federation, reportedly the largest in over three years of war', which allegedly has led to disruptions in power supply to the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), and expressed concern about 'dangerous escalation and the growing number of civilian casualties,'" the statement reads.
"The UN Secretary-General's remarks are yet another vivid demonstration of his political bias and shortsightedness, which manifest in virtually unconditional support for the criminal regime in Kiev, including the North Atlantic Alliance behind it," the Russian Foreign Ministry stated. "The basis for such assessments has largely been provided by ambiguous and essentially distorted evaluations in the reports compiled by the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency regarding the situation at the ZNPP, which fail to mention attacks by Ukrainian armed groups on the plant."
