Read excerpts from the statement of Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the OSCE M.Buyakevich (meeting of the OSCE PC, 07.12.23)

On the ongoing crimes by the Kiev regime and dangerous policies of the western alliance to exacerbate tensions

Kiev's handlers in the West miscalculated, wanting to inflict a “strategic defeat” on Russia by using Ukraine. They underestimated strength and unity of the Russian State and the determination of our peoples to eliminate threats to Russia's sovereignty and security

The anti-Russian sanctions “blitzkrieg” of the West failed miserably - in fact, it provided the Russian economy with additional incentives for development and growth. Meanwhile, in the West itself, crisis trends are worsening, and serious economic problems are evident

In the West, the approaches of many politicians are changing. From nonsense about “microchips being removed from washing machines to repair Russian military equipment,” they are gradually coming to reality: the Kiev regime is failing militarily, and Russia is strong

Protracted and inconclusive debates on new packages of mil. and fin. support from U.S. and E.U. to Zelensky's regime is an excellent indicator that even the most ardent Russophobes now doubt the success of the Kiev regime and the entire project “Ukraine anti-Russia”

Western diplomats in the OSCE are trying to create the illusion of their readiness to endlessly support the Kiev regime. But their capabilities are limited: EU was able to transfer only 300,000 of the promised 1 mln shells to Ukr.military; U.S. supplies under question
