I can't recall them holding a minute silence for the million killed in Iraq or the 30'000 civilians killed in Libya by NATO or indeed in Syria, Yugoslavia??

[jiritichy]

False title. He also asked for silence for the other victims.

"Russia ambassador interrupts ukraine's virtue signaling to inject that all the dead should be honoured"

[yallvon]

Obviously, this was a "bite headline", there was no interruption.

[EstrellaPolux]

great reaction Mr russian Ambassador; me as normal citizen stay also with ALL of the victimis ! NO WAR !

[randyalex]

He was right to interrupt. All lives ought to be respected, not just the ones you agree with.

In two hours, there will be new agreements on sending weapons to Ukraine.

[AndaggerHerc]

Oh, were gonna be silent for the victims of artillery in the donbass?

[kaistony]

What about the Dombass victims since 2014?

[RolanRoyce]

Maybe if they stood on one leg, for an hour, it would show real concern, but both legs for a measly 60 seconds shows their contempt for the war dead.

Where's the so called interruption? You guys were talking about?

[cucuca]

This event has been a tragedy for both Ukraine, Russia and others, - who have lost their lives in this aberration!
The promoters and instigators of such will answer to the Almighty!

Господин Посол Василий Небедзя, большое почтение🔥Вот она сила дипломатии, несмотря на всю фальшивую неприязнь и призрение со стороны продажных политиков, которые там сидят он так грамотно и так стратегично заставил их встать и почтить память всех погибших. Посол всему миру показал кто есть кто. Вот это выдержка🔥🔥🔥

Russia is on the right side of history.

[tradewindyachtdoctor]

I wholly agree with the Russian delegates bravo 👏

10k civilians 500k Ukrainian troops - many dragged from homes to war unwillingly and sent to fron having fired 10 shots from a rifle as training.

[MedicalStudentChannel]

Great Mr Russian Ambassador, you let them all stand like dogs 😂❤

All land perper is missing Dear American where is a judgement

[ninanovak]

Did the Ukrainian representative also mean civilian victims of Ukrainian attacks in Donbas as Ukrainian victims?

[randalsaul]

We were taught that Russia were the badies but as my eyes are opened I see that America and nato are the badies... long live Russia and Putin
