Speaking at the United Nations on Monday, Russia’s U.N. ambassador Vassily Nebenzia accused the U.S. of being directly involved in the fatal “terrorist” attack in Crimea’s Sevastopol on Sunday, when at least four people died and more than 150 others where injured.

Nebenzia alleged that Ukraine had launched U.S.-supplied Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles after being “permitted” by the West to “attack targets inside the Russian territory.”

The Russian ambassador further condemned a lack of response from the U.N. Secretariat, who is “very eloquent on other occasions”. He called the reaction an example of “double standards” in favour of the West.

“All responsible for this and other terrorist attacks will be held accountable,” Nebenzia said in his statement, adding that “there will be measures in response” until “no threat is posed by the neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv.”

  • The presidential administration and the US Department of Defense said: "This is not us." "And who is it?" - The Western media have been tormented by this issue since the terrorist explosion on the Nord Stream 2.
  • @O-smoka
    The US has been responsible for this type of attack in the past. This is part of the US playbook.
  • Whether you believe Russia’s allegations of US involvement or not, the reality is, global tensions between nuclear superpowers have never been higher. We are the closest we have been to nuclear war since 1962.
  • So it's just war when Russia does it to Ukraine, but it's a horrible crime when Ukraine does it to them. Got it.
  • @vaninec
    Sure it is Americans Who else?
  • Get rid of that hopeless UN secretary general. His silence on so many western crimes is deafening.
  • @Iamlostboy.
    I get the feeling that people in the world don't understand just how close we are to a war that would quite literally be the end of humanity as we know it. It's time to stop shifting blame, and start doing something to stop this.
  • @Howiex-is8gq
    Russia attacked powers stations, malls, hospitals, They shouldnt talk their the real terrorists. And are using double standards.....
  • Russia used cluster munitions on Odesa almost 2 months ago against civilians, what happened in Ukraine's occupied Crimea is the result of allowing civilians to be on a beach that sits between Black Sea Fleet headquarters and ports and Russian airbase Belbek airbase. Also why would you take your family to occupied Crimea where Ukraine has been hitting and destroying ports,airbases,air defense battery, radar stations for last 2 months? There's a war going on people and looking at the footage most of the cluster munitions landed in the water and maybe 10 hit the beach after missile was hit by russian air defense.
  • @TheOverlord1
    "We do not do what Israel is doing in Gaza''. Amen to that!!
  • @IRBry
    was usa responsible for grozny too? russia is so bad at everything
  • @Pepe46873
    Can’t have a beach vacation any more 3km from an ammo depot in occupied land
  • @davemedin1113
    You've got to laugh when the Russian delegate actually believes the attack was on Russian territory. How stoopid can Russia be hosting invading tourists right next to a military target?
  • @BestlifeNomad
    " We do not bomb cities , we do not bomb civilians " riiiiight 🧐
  • @NiceTriGuy
    Russians shouldn’t be on Ukrainian beaches during a war…. Russia suggesting Ukraine is escalating the defense of their country is pretty rich.
  • @suilfisean
    Seems like if they were so concerned about civilian safety, they would have closed the beach that's right beside one of the biggest military targets in all of Crimea, right? Especially after AFU warned russians not to holiday in Crimea? But what do they do instead? Promote Crimea as a tourist destination and try to get as many people as possible there. Seems to me that they were perfectly happy to sacrifice civilian lives - in fact, the more the better from a propaganda standpoint - just to have a stick to hit the US with. Sadly, to anyone not already gullible and naive enough to already subscribe to their propaganda, it's very obvious what's happened here. The russian regime's hatred for civilian life strikes again 😕
  • ruZZia occupies the area so it's up to them to close the beach and ensure civilian safety by law, also don't put an active airfield next to a public beach in a warzone.....
  • Enemy or not do not ever attack civilians. If you attack them then you are also evil.
