“I’m afraid”. It is one of the messages that a Russian soldier to his mother moments before dying in Ukraine. An alleged exchange that the Ukrainian ambassador to the United Nations has read this Monday before the UN General Assembly.
“Mom, I’m in Ukraine. There is a real war here, I’m afraid,” said the Russian military officer in that alleged exchange of messages, in which he added: “We are bombing all cities, even civilians. They told us that they would welcome us and throw themselves under the wheels of our vehicles so as not to let us pass. They call us fascists. Mom, this is so hard.“.
The Ukrainian ambassador, Sergiy Kyslytsya, has even shown screenshots of those messages –the moment can be seen here– which, according to what he said, would have been exchanged moments before the death of the soldier.
During his speech at the UN, Kyslytsya also warned that “if Ukraine does not survive, international peace will not survive.” “If Ukraine does not survive, neither will the United Nations survive to. Don’t get your hopes up,” he insisted.
Kyslytsya has also harshly charged his Russian counterpart, Vasili Nebenzia, during an emergency meeting of the Security Council, which is chaired this month by the Russian ambassador. Kyslytsya has asked him to leave his post in light of the fact that his country has launched a “war” against Ukraine and has urged him to call on Putin to stop this “aggression”. “There is no purgatory for war criminals, they go straight to hell“, has sentenced.
