UNITED NATIONS, April 28. /TASS/. Russian Permanent Representative to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya has accused Ukraine’s authorities of carrying out attacks on civilians and journalists, all while openly flaunting its crimes.

Addressing the 48th session of the UN General Assembly Committee on Information, he noted that there has been no improvement in terms of the freedom of access to information in Ukraine over the past year, and the West keeps on inventing various pretexts to impose new bans on free information.

TASS has summed up his key statements.

Ukraine continues to carry out terrorist attacks on Russia’s civilian population, including journalists, and "openly flaunts this": "In 2025, Ukrainian army attacks killed six Russian journalists and one correspondent narrowly survived a drone attack in 2026."

Against the backdrop of deteriorating freedom of access to information, the Kiev regime is clamping down on what information its people take in: "Opposition media have been banned, thousands of websites have been blocked, and dissidents are being persecuted. Hatred of everything Russian is openly promoted and encouraged through the media at all levels."
