Russian U.N ambassador blames Ukraine for their decision to invade.
He says Russia is defending itself against the “nationalist threat” of the Ukraine which is invading Donbas, a Russian territory.
Says there was never an intention to occupy Ukraine, but to defend Russia.
Says Ukraine wanting to join NATO is a "red line" and was to push an anti-Russian agenda.
Accuses Ukraine of genocide against Russia’s “peaceful protesters.”
But who is really surprised that Russia would blame the victim

Someone throw some poo at this guy

Russia needs to be made an international pariah in the same way as North Korea. Freeze them out of business, sport, travel, property...

I'm trying to imagine what it feels like to tell such obvious lies to people that know the truth. I would feel so ashamed.

translation: Ukraine with its vast resources of oil & gas will reduce the West’s need/dependency on Russian oil & gas and we can’t have that

This has "stop hitting yourself" energy

The other ambassadors should literally just heckle the shit out him the entire time he's spewing this bullshit propaganda.
NotADutchman
Yeah, that or an axe firmly planted in his thick skull.

Russia is now the person in a relationship that says it was the other person's fault he/she beat her/him with a baseball bat
IHateItH3r3
Yes, standard behavior in predators and abusers :c

Thank you for this! We have been trying to figure out how to translate the live feed.

"See what you made me do?!" - Abusive husband to his wife after beating her to pulp.
badmanjam
This is the exact correct analogy. Blame the victim.
FIDoAlmighty
Not so fun fact: Russia made it legal to beat your wife.
FIDoAlmighty
See?
damienxwaltz
didn't putin say he was invading ukraine, tho?
IHateItH3r3
Some are speculating that this speech, along with the negotiations, is just to give Russia more time to figure out what they're doing

Send them over put them in one of the dead tanks or the boats that ran out of fuel

Gaslighting at its finest. "Russia didnt invade Ukraine! Ukraine Invaded Ukraine and we help!"

Look at him. He knows, he knows hes a clown with a tie on
bronx72a
Problem is those are words, and you can put them in that order. All our fancy weapons and tech but we have no defense against nonsense.
PhooBar
How ironic, bronx72a. The 'Bronx cheer' is a very effective anti-bullshit weapon. Make it loud & follow-up with a raised middle finger.
WoodHandle
R's: Yes it is Ukraine that is the aggressor like the Russian truthful patriot said.
Sesquey
Another country joining an international organization is justification for war. Got it.

this is a textbook example of how shit the people of russia are ..

Not all of them. Many civilians decry this war

You could hear the fucking eyes rolling in that room the whole time he was speaking.

I'm a Giants fan. My neighbor is a Cowboys fan. He just bought a new hoodie, so I broke into his house, killed his kids and set it on fire.

Have they dropped the "Ukrainians are nazis" bullshit yet?
DisgruntledFerret
They have not: nazi and nationalist are the same word.
Radix865
Pretty sure the "nationalist threat" is pointing that way, probably just avoiding using the word nazis directly at UN.
frankierizzo0351
Why does the UN continue to let the russian "ambassador" stand at the podium and tell verifiably false lies in some farce of a discussion?
AMLejane214
They need their words to be use against them.
IHateItH3r3
I watched it live on ABC and after a certain point, they cut the feed. I think they realized they should stop airing his words
SomeDetroitGuy
Because that's literally the point of the UN.
frankierizzo0351
The UN is to resolve conflict, you do that by holding perpetrators accountable not by playing their bullshit games while they stall.
BewareTheIceSpiders
Hahah no. The UN exists to prevent war between two major powers. Otherwise, the UN is just where corruption happens on a world scale.
BewareTheIceSpiders
Look at 3rd world countries openly selling their votes...
Thajurriesexcuesed
Surely Russia can provide proof of these bullshit accusations...
Radix865
Sure, right after they find a videogame with fitting footage to use.

Take him out. Bullets fly slightly faster than lies.

Well... yes. I had more words. Less gooder and more longerer words, but I'd say you nailed it in a nice succinct 6 words.

Sorry, previous UKR UN ambassador*

One could argue that they might be in over their head. Seems a bit like a bad attemt at backpeddling

+1 … but we all knew he is a ventriloquist dummy w/ Putin’s arm up his ass.

Wonder if his family is being held captive or if he genuinely believes this. Only reasons that I can see anyone saying it.

agreed, reply "you have 1 week to provide proof, and just because Putin said so does not count"
BlacknCrimsonRose
Why give them a week? They should already have the proof. They have as long as it takes to travel from Moscow to the assembly.
