Diplomat calls out West for using Ukrainians as ‘cannon fodder’ against Russia
STEPANAKERT, APRIL 20, ARTSAKHPRESS: "Western colleagues’ concern for Ukraine and Ukrainians is quite selfish and self-serving," he said at a United Nations Security Council meeting. "They need Ukrainians only as cannon fodder in their proxy war against Russia “down to the very last Ukrainian.”
Russia opens humanitarian corridors every day, but the Ukrainian side is reluctant to use them, Polyansky noted.
"We declare humanitarian corridors on a daily basis, [we] declare ceasefires every day, we did it even today, regarding the Azovstal plant in Mariupol, but the Ukrainian side doesn't use it. They ignore those appeals," he noted.
