Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Vasily Nebenzya UN, Feb 1 Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Vasily Nebenzya invited his Ukrainian colleague Sergey Kislitsa to take part in the meeting of the UN Security Council on the implementation of the Minsk agreements organized by Russia on February 17. The Russian envoy specified that the event would be devoted precisely to Kiev's failure to implement the Minsk agreements.
Putin commented on the possible entry of Ukraine into NATO»I hope that he (Kislytsya — ed.) will support our meeting on February 17 on the implementation of the Minsk agreements. I am sure that he would like to come and make a statement. We will welcome this,» Nebenzya said at a briefing. At the same time, he called it obvious that Kyslytsya supported the holding of the UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine, initiated by the United States on Monday. «Of course, the Ukrainian Permanent Representative supported the meeting, which was convened by the United States, because it fully reflects the theses that the Ukrainian authorities have,» Nebenzya said. On Monday, a United States-initiated meeting of the UN Security Council was held, at which Washington wanted to discuss the alleged «threatening behavior» of the Russian Federation towards to Ukraine and the «building up» of the Russian military presence on the border. The Russian Federation preliminarily considered such a meeting an American PR trick. The event was reduced to an unsubstantiated accusation of the Russian Federation by the West. Moscow asked for evidence of alleged plans of aggression against Ukraine, but no one provided them. Also, none of the Western countries in the UN Security Council could substantiate the figure they uttered in «100 thousand military personnel» of the Russian Federation, allegedly deployed to the border with Ukraine. >Orban said he did not see Putin's intentions to aggression against Ukraine
