This was stated by the Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Vasiliy Nebenzya at the Security Council session.
Nebenzya said that the special operation would not have been necessary if Ukraine had respected basic human rights, and above all the right to life.
"The West, which supported the unilaterally declared independence of Kosovo and Metohija, is applying double standards when it comes to referendums in the Donetsk People's Republic, the Lugansk People's Republic, and the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions," Nebenzya pointed out.
He recalled that the West insisted that Kosovo and Metohija had the right to secede from the state of Serbia, because it allegedly violated the rights of Albanians.
That being said, Russia went about it the wrong way. Instead of the invasion, they first should have gone persistently to the UNSC with the claims of human rights violations in Donbas.

In an idea situation they should have gone to the UN to get as result, but the UN is a corrupt organisation that has been bought by the west. You only have to look at those inspectors at the nuclear power plant. They knew that the Ukrainians were shelling the plant, but when their final report came out there was no mention of that fact. The head of the inspection group declared the plant should be handed over to the Ukrainians.

It's very different, NATO illegally attacked Serbia on lies supporting terrorists, attacking what has always been Serbian lands and they were thousands of miles from america. Russia is next door to a russian population who have been attacked by a nazi regime supported by America for over 14 years. Zelensky ripped up the Minsk agreement he was voted in to implement by 73pc of voters, NATO boasted they've been supplying Ukraine with weaponsfor years, and planned to ethnically cleanse the east and then attack Russia, Russia had to defend its people and interests now. Ukraine admitted they never intended to implement the Minsk agreement and were playing for time to build up their forces. Russia was right to retake the east of Ukraine, nato was wrong to intervene in serbia

Let's assume for a moment that West intervention to Kosovo was wrong, Russia as a permanent member of the SC and "the advocate of international law and order" believes in two wrongs make things right....
For Russia it is not about international law, but expansion, land grabbing.

Let’s assume for a moment they EA sports has an IQ above 100. In the early 18th century KIev was part of the Rus empire. When Lenin seized power he gave a sizable chunk of the Donbas to
Ukraine . Khruchev did the same with Crimea. This area if the Ukraine is called NovoRossija and never was “Ukraine” just like Kosovo in name and history was never Albania. Get into the game EA sports.

Jugoslavija : You would have defended stalin in 1938, saying exactly what you are saying today in defense of Putin. You have no character, let alone intellect. The Slavic notion that they and only they have the divine right to be emperiors of the world, is a throw back from the Dark Age.

Did you read my post? You seem to have comprehension problems? Where did I mention Stalin or Russia as “rulers of the world”
Seriously dude, you are in the wrong place, post or time.

It is all hypocritical. There is no international rule-based order. Treaties, conventions and agreements are worth the paper they are written on. It is all geopolitics and only might makes right. The world has always been an Age of Empires. Human rights, freedom and democracy are just excuses. Russia is using the same reasons and wording for their intervention. They learned from the West.
Russia might have violated the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine but the West did no other with YU, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and a host of other countries, including Ukraine. Because these documents also should protect against election interference which happened in Ukraine (and whole lot of other countries) in 2014, including the infamous "F the EU" phone call where Victoria Nuland discusses the composition of the new Ukrainian government.
That being said, Russia went about it the wrong way. Instead of the invasion, they first should have gone persistently to the UNSC with the claims of human rights violations in Donbas.

In all fairness, the international order based on the UN was smashed with the civil war in Yugoslavia. This included the use of NATO as a "peacekeeping" force instead of UN forces which only represents a small proportion of the world. NATO has turned from a defensive to an aggressive alliance and it cannot last in the new multi polar world that is transpiring before our eyes. A new United Nations and Charter will need to be created with or without the US and Europe. The attempts to kick Russia out of the UN Security council is contemptible, laughable and egregious.

The US and one of its rats Albania are to introduce a UN resolution to vote that the referendum in the DonBas, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia are not legitimate. Albania should then also consider that the Kosovo referendum in Kosovo was a sham which it was and completely illegal. You can't make this stuff up!
(Jugoslavija, 28 September 2022 20:41)
How stupid is the US? No instrument can measure such idiocy. The US declared that Kosovo was independent but held NO referendum. The US paid/threatened the judiciary on the International Court to say it was not illegal under International Law.
Now the Russians are going a step further and held referenda in the republics but the US deemed themselves to be arbiters of all matters and are not happy with a declaration that is in line with the ruling set by the International Court on Kosovo.
The US only gets dumber and dumber. Speaking of dumber, Bliken was asked on TV about Israel annexing the Golan Heights and US recognition of that annexation in relation to what’s going on in the breakaway republics of Ukraine.
The halfwit said that the Heights were very important to the security of Israel. Yes the dimwit actually said that ha,ha,ha. He handed the Russians ammunition they can throw at the US all day everyday LOL. Russia can declare that those regions are integral to their security.
As I said the stupider you are the more chances of reaching the top in the US.
