MOSCOW, January 30. /TASS/. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has ultimately turned into an instrument of Western propaganda by rejecting Donbass and Crimea the right to self-determination, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told a briefing.

She also said that Moldova’s Russophobia is pushing the country "to nowhere" and costs it too high.

TASS has compiled her key statements.

"The Ukrainian army has intensified its deliberate attacks" on civilians after the trilateral talks involving Russia, the United States, and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi on January 23 and 24.

Over the past week, 99 people have been affected by Ukrainian shelling and drone attacks, with 15 of them being killed and 84 wounded, including four children.
