First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Dmitry Polyansky. File photoUN, April 19 Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, was skeptical about the prospects for introducing an «Easter truce» in Ukraine proposed by the UN Secretary General. Earlier, UN Secretary General António Guterres called for a four-day humanitarian pause from Thursday for the withdrawal of civilians and the delivery of humanitarian aid. «Such things are decided in Moscow by the Ministry of Defense. Personally, I am a little skeptical, because I know how it was in the past,» Polyansky told reporters, responding to a request to comment on the proposal of the UN Secretary General. «We announced ceasefire, we declared humanitarian corridors. And they were either not used by Ukraine, or were used for some malicious purposes to stage provocations like the one that happened in Bucha,» he said. Polyansky said he did not know «what is the point play with the Ukrainians on such issues.» «But then again, it doesn't depend on me,» he added. At the same time, he pointed out that Russia regularly offers and organizes humanitarian corridors. />»Only IG* does this.» American journalist marveled at the atrocities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
