In a speech to the Security Council yesterday, the Ukrainian president also called on the United Nations to send an investigative committee to the site to independently obtain information and investigate whether it was a Russian missile strike.
Russia, on the other hand, has accused him of using his rhetoric as a “telecommunications campaign” to gain more Western weapons.
Dmitry Polyansky, Russia’s deputy ambassador to the United Nations, believes that Zelensky’s presence in the video undermines the institutional authority responsible for maintaining international peace and security.
“The UN Security Council should not become a platform for a telecommunications campaign for President Zelinsky to receive more weapons from NATO participants,” he said.
It is noteworthy that Kyiv had previously announced that a Russian missile strike deliberately targeted a shopping center on Monday, killing at least 18 people.
Moscow, meanwhile, denied the bombing, saying it had bombed an American and European weapons depot, leading to an explosion that set the center on fire.
Since the start of the Russian military operation on Ukrainian soil, the two sides have exchanged accusations amid expectations of prolonged and protracted conflict months after suffering heavy casualties and material damage.
