#Nebenzia: #Donetsk and #Lugansk People's Republics declared independence from #Ukraine🇺🇦 back in 2014, but we recognized it only today, despite broad support for such step both in the republics and among the Russian🇷🇺 society that could be seen at the very beginning. https://t.co/TxAa4uE3te

#Nebenzia: While propagating this baseless panic around🇷🇺plans for an invasion of #Ukraine, our Western colleagues shamelessly pumped Ukraine w/arms & instructors. In fact they have been encouraging Ukraine to embark on armed provocations against #Donbas. https://t.co/aznmdrZhP5 https://t.co/SdQWWr92e3

#Nebenzia at UNSC briefing on #Ukraine: Many our colleagues are willing to attest that the #MinskAgreements are dead, which is not true. #Kiev🇺🇦 still has to implement them. We remain open for a diplomatic solution, but we will not allow for another bloodbath in #Donbas. https://t.co/IGfhZPUjfc

#HappeningNow 🇺🇳Security Council will meet at 09.30 pm🕘 (New York time) today to convene a meeting on #Ukraine. https://t.co/P9GF0jdB1T

#Nebenzia: #Ukraine’s Western sponsors did nothing to make #Kiev listen to its people, thus showing double standards. With any other crisis, 🇺🇳members call on conflicting sides to start direct dialogue, otherwise conflict can't be settled. But it's the direct opposite with 🇺🇦. https://t.co/Cmw0YTyEFl

#Nebenzia: The goal of this special operation is protection of people who have been victimized and exposed to genocide by the #Kiev regime. To ensure this, we will seek demilitarization and denazification of #Ukraine🇺🇦. https://t.co/q7ZBJkZPT1 https://t.co/HEJSs9jw2R

#Nebenzia: The tragedy of #Ukraine started after the illegitimate coup in 2014, when instead of talking to Russian-speaking population, new🇺🇦authorities confronted them with guns & aviation. There's enough evidence on that matter, but our Western partners prefer to not notice it. https://t.co/7ZUOYoAAku

#Nebenzia at UNSC briefing on Ukraine: The root cause of this 🇺🇦crisis is #Ukraine’s acts and its years-long sabotage of direct obligations under the #MinskPackage. Last week we still hoped that #Kiev would think better and finally implement what it committed to back in 2015. https://t.co/MbphOdnOjl

#Nebenzia: West left behind the story how the Maidan junta that rose to power after the coup d'état in #Kiev in 2014 waged war on the people of eastern #Ukraine, firing at residential quarters from guns and multiple rocket launchers and air-dropping bombs on #Donetsk & #Lugansk. https://t.co/HGzLaYxqop

#Nebenzia: We need to focus on correcting the situation that led to this crisis. It did not start when Russia launched a special military operation in #Ukraine. It started much earlier, when you spent 8 years pretending to not notice crimes of Ukrainian nationalists in #Donbas. https://t.co/uapegE8xFB
