Russia expects UN to immediately react to attack on Kherson ferry crossing

Russia expects the United Nations to immediately react to Kiev’s attack on a civilian ferry crossing in Kherson, Counsellor at the Russian Permanent Mission to the UN Fedor Strzhizhovsky said, addressing the Fourth Committee of the UN General Assembly.

"Four people were killed, including journalist Oleg Klokov, and ten of his colleagues suffered various wounds. Some of his family members were also wounded," he noted.

According to the Russian diplomat, the incident was another link in the chain of the Kiev regime’s crimes. "The goal of this aggression clearly was to prevent people from spreading the truth about developments in Ukraine, intimidate or just eliminate those who picture events in a way that the Kiev regime and its Western sponsors find inconvenient," Strzhizhovsky stressed.

"We expect that all the related international institutions, first and foremost, UN bodies, will show an immediate and adequate reaction to the incident," he added.
