Ukraine's Permanent Representative to the UN Sergiy Kyslytsya believes that the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe must support the deputinization of Russia and its gradual return to the international law of the post-Putin era.
Kyslytsa made the statement at the meeting of the UN Security Council on the collaboration between the UN and OSCE, says Ukrinform.
"It is the matter of survival of the UN and OSCE, and the deputinization of Russia and its gradual return to the fundamentals of international law of the pre-Putin era... Putin's regime is nearing its end. He did so much harm to Russian society that it will take decades to return to at least the level of democracy it had in the nineties of the past century," said Kyslytsia.
He stated that OSCE must play a special role in supporting post-Putin Russia on its future way back to the family of democracies - "under a new rule, with new ambassadors and representatives."
"Therefore, I am calling the Chairman and all institutions of OSCE to start working on the conditions of collaboration with post-Putin Russia, since there won't be an automatic return to normal neither here, in New York, nor for OSCE," added the Representative.
Kyslytsya stated that Russian troops keep committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Ukraine, "erasing all difference between themselves and their nazi predecessors 80 years ago." He addressed the Chairman of the OSCE Zbigniew Rau, asking him to facilitate the release of the mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov. The latter was being tortured because he refused to collaborate with the aggressor.
Russian occupants double down on the repressions, kidnapping the mayor of Dniprorudny, Evgen Matveev, added Kyslytsya. The Representative emphasized that the residents of Kherson, Berdyansk, Melitopol, Enerhodar and other occupied cities are not afraid to take to the streets and say to the occupants: "Go away, we are Ukraine!"
"There is no place in Ukraine where the Russian army is welcome," stated Kyslytsya.
Earlier, Kyslytsya stated that Russia spreading fakes about Ukraine creating chemical and bacteriological weapons may be the sign that the occupants are preparing a new operation "under a foreign flag." The Ukrainian diplomat said that the documents taken from the invader forces prove that the strikes of residential areas are premeditated. This was confirmed by the captured Russian pilots, who dropped the bombs on Ukrainians' houses.
