Russia’s Permanent Representative to the UN Vitaly Churkin reacted to the policy adopted by the US. He also pointed out that the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine’s southeast is a direct result of Kiev’s reckless actions.

A UN Security Council emergency session was summoned with regard to statements about Russia having sent its troops to Ukraine. Churkin called for the Council to urge the US to stop meddling with other countries’ affairs.

“I would suggest sending a note to Washington: stop interfering in sovereign states’ policies, stop rocking dissident regimes. Moderate your geopolitical ambitions. Not only Russian neighbors, but other states around the world would sigh with relief,”  Russia’s Permanent Representative to the UN said.

He also called to cease “speculations over the downed Malaysian plane ” in Ukraine’s east and reminded  that  [quote]  “only Russia contributed transparently and considerably to the investigation of this tragedy.”

Relations between Russia and the West have deteriorated in regard to the situation in Ukraine. In late July the EU and the US proceeded from individual sanctions imposed on a number of people and companies to penalties on whole sectors of the Russian economy. In response, Russia limited food imports from countries that imposed sanctions on it, namely the US, the EU states, Canada, Australia and Norway.
