UN, Feb. 9 NATO will be cursed for dozens of generations to come people suffering from health problems due to NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in the late 90s, said the first deputy permanent representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky.
According to him, to understand how to establish lasting peace on Serbian soil, it is necessary to remember “the true reason for today’s dramatic events” — aggression by NATO against Yugoslavia.
«The so-called champions of democracy launched a bombardment of the country with depleted uranium, which resulted in massive casualties among civilians and the destruction of civilian infrastructure. Catastrophic damage was caused to the environment. For this, NATO will curse another 60 generations of people doomed to suffer from health problems due to Washington’s criminal actions, which former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright cynically called “collateral damage,” Polyansky said at a meeting of the UN Security Council.
In 1999, an armed confrontation between Albanian separatists from the Liberation Army Kosovo, the Serbian army and police led to the NATO bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (then consisting of Serbia and Montenegro), a military operation undertaken without the approval of the UN Security Council based on Western allegations that the FRY authorities were carrying out ethnic cleansing in Kosovo autonomy and provoked a humanitarian catastrophe there. Air strikes by the North Atlantic Alliance continued from March 24 to June 10, 1999. NATO bombing led to the death of over 2.5 thousand people, including 87 children, and damage of 100 billion dollars, doctors are recording the consequences of the use of depleted uranium, leading to an increase in cancer.
