UN General Assembly
2022

The decision to wage this horrible war was made in Russia by people prompted by an imperial sentiment and colonial, nationalist Russian hubris, exalting their own people and denying their sovereign neighbours the right to self-determination. They managed to obsess the nation of one of the United Nations founding States with that thought — a nation that had a chance to protest against the insanity of its leaders. Unfortunately, only a few Russian people, the most courageous, stood up against this war. They dared to stand on the side of justice and honesty.
