VIENNA, February 27. /TASS/. Russia’s Permanent Representative to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Dmitry Polyansky has slammed Western politicians’ allegations about the isolation of Russia as "futile wet dreams."
"As an educated and polite person I will leave aside all the ridiculous statements and unbased accusations of my country that you and your guest were sharing at the stage. For me as someone fresh from the UN Mission in New York it was especially stunning to hear laughable claims of your guest that Russia is allegedly isolated there - these are all long-term and futile wet dreams of our EU colleagues who are in fact more and more isolated themselves and are looking at the UN like a weird and disoriented Russophobic flock totally detached from reality," he wrote in an open letter to Director of the Vienna Diplomatic Academy Martin Eichtinger that was posted on his X page.
He recalled that he had received an invitation to the Academy’s Conference entitled "Beyond Order: Diplomacy in an age of Systemic Transformation." "For me as a newly appointed Russian envoy to the OSCE this looked as a token of a desire to engage into a dialogue which is so badly needed here in Vienna to save our children from the scourge of war," he noted adding that when former EU ambassador to Rome Mr. Martin Selmayr took the floor at the opening panel, the discussion was limited to a "friendly exchange centered on anti-Russian narratives."
