You lie.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused the United Nations of turning a blind eye to Ukrainian attacks in Russia’s Kursk region, which began in early August. Lavrov made the remarks during an interview with Russia’s TASS news agency on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.
Lavrov claimed that Ukrainian forces, armed with Western weapons, are committing indiscriminate attacks on civilians and infrastructure in Kursk. He criticized the UN and its Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, for failing to condemn these actions.
“I have not heard any voices from UN representatives responsible for human rights, including, of course, the secretary general,” Lavrov said.
This accusation comes as Ukraine and human rights organizations have consistently accused Russia of indiscriminate bombings and other atrocities against civilians since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022.
Russia, however, maintains that its actions in Ukraine are a “special operation” to protect its own security against a hostile West.
Ukrainian forces have made significant gains in Kursk since the incursion began, capturing large chunks of territory and some 100 settlements. However, the Russian military claims to have recaptured some of those towns and villages in recent weeks.
Lavrov also warned Eastern European countries, now part of NATO and the European Union, that Western leaders do not trust them. He claimed that these countries are not allowed to hold “significant job positions” within these organizations.
Additionally, Lavrov stated that more and more countries are rejecting the US dollar as a reserve currency. He believes that this is a result of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank’s earlier promotion of the dollar as a “world-wide asset.”
Pick a fight and then complain when your nose is bloodied? Sounds like something a bully would do.

Lol.
Russia is pathetic.
Russia starts the war then complains about being attack.
Rich.
It’s laughably absurd.
Is this the BEE, nope just Russian mir
Even in a war, it’s a crime to target civilians
By either side
Russia starts the war then complains about being attack.
NATO marching ever eastward right up to Russia’s border, the toppling of Russia friendly governments with CIA coups, and constant sanctions against Russia had nothing to do with it. America has 750 bases spread all around the world because we are so cute and cuddly.
Arguing with neocon morons is tiresome.
NATO didn’t “march eastwords”
Poland, the Baltics etc. all desperately joined NATO because Muscowy was threatening their independence.
This was proven in 2008 when Georgia’s request to join NATO was rejected “for fear of provoking Russia” - and 6 weeks after this rejection, Russia invaded Georgia.
Finland didn’t see any need to join NATO until Putin’s second invasion of Ukraine in Feb 2022
You lie.
“”””America has 750 bases spread all around the world””””
Do you agree with the source for that claim that we have 54 “bases” in Guam, 34 “bases” in Puerto Rico, and so on, or do you think that claiming that is pretty silly?
Are you really trying to say that America has no worldwide empire? Denying reality just makes you look like a moron.
It sounds like you do know that your claim of 750 bases is silly.
What I am saying is that there is likely more than 750 bases. You really don’t think that there is at least 2 to 3 covert bases just in the Ukraine alone?
The famous “friendly encroachment of military forces.” The Soviet Union dissolved and Russia wanted peace but we continued our war. NATO, once its original defense mission was accomplished, continued to attack and expand.
