Nebenzya asked the UN Security Council who is really opposed to Russia in Ukraine
The Russian authorities doubted that the Russian Armed Forces were confronted only by the Ukrainian military within the framework of the special operation. This was stated by the Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Vasily Nebenzya at a meeting of the Security Council.
“Are Ukrainians really opposed to the Russian army in this country? One thing is for sure: without the aforementioned Western assistance, hostilities in Ukraine would have ended long ago, and the leaders of the criminal Kiev regime themselves admit this, ”Vasily Nebenzya said in his speech, RIA Novosti reports.
The Russian diplomat noted that the volume of military support for Kyiv is unprecedented. “In less than a year, an amount exceeding the military budgets of most NATO states was spent on arming and helping Ukraine,” Vasily Nebenzia stressed.

Zakharova: UN report on Ukraine ignores the atrocities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other crimes of Kyiv
The report of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) ignores the massacres of the Armed Forces of Ukraine against civilians and other crimes of Kyiv. It is one-sided and tendentious, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.
“OHCHR published the report “Killings of civilians: mass executions and attacks on civilians in Kyiv, Chernihiv and Sumy regions in the context of the armed attack of the Russian Federation against Ukraine”. It does not say a word about the brutal reprisals of the Armed Forces of Ukraine against civilians in these regions. Thus, the report is one-sided, tendentious in nature and is aimed at discrediting the SVO, as well as the demonization of Russian military personnel, ”says Maria Zakharova in a comment published on the official website
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation .
Maria Zakharova also noted that the report “represents scattered, unproven 'evidence' of supposedly randomly selected individuals.” “Essentially, rumors and gossip that raise numerous questions. We are again dealing with the “proprietary” methodology of OHCHR and HRMMU for collecting so-called evidence, which is mainly based on the “reasons to believe” principle,” she notes. According to her, such an approach of the OHCHR to the events in Ukraine is no longer surprising, since the department did not notice the crimes of Kyiv for eight years.

Economist Arsky: Russia has avoided a rise in inflation to 60%
Russia managed to stabilize the economy in the conditions of the crisis and the special operation and avoid inflation of 60%. Alexander Arsky, Candidate of Economic Sciences, Associate Professor of the Faculty of Economics of RUDN University, told URA.RU about this.
“In the current conditions (the global energy crisis and the conduct of a special operation), the government managed to stabilize the national economy very effectively. In the absence of the measures that were taken, inflation could have been between 40 and 60%, which would have been the first severe blow to the Russian economy since 1998,” Alexander Arsky said.
According to him, inflation will continue to decline in Russia. “Its announced size for 2022 is 12-13%. The indicator of actual, as well as declared, inflation will decrease in 2023. It will be a success if the government manages to keep this figure within 10%,” said the candidate of economic sciences.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that in the Russian Federation there is a
downward trend in inflation . In October, the figure was 12.63%. Finance Minister Anton Siluanov assured that inflation in the country
is under control .

Media: the United States abandoned the requirement for Ukraine not to attack the territory of Russia
The United States has revised its assessment of the threat posed by Moscow and is no longer insisting that Kiev not strike at Russian territory,
writes the British Times newspaper, citing a source in the Pentagon.
According to the source, now Washington is less concerned that the strikes inflicted by the Armed Forces on Russian territory could prompt Moscow to sharply escalate the situation.
"We don't tell Kiev, 'Don't hit the Russians (in
Russia or Crimea)'. We can't tell them what to do. It's up to them how they use their weapons. However, when they use the weapons we supplied, we only insist on that the Ukrainian military abide by the international laws of war and abide by the Geneva Conventions," an unnamed Pentagon official added.
As the interlocutor of the publication noted, this restriction means that the families of Russians should not become the target for the Ukrainian military, and Washington also opposes the liquidation of specific individuals. "As far as we know, Ukraine follows these instructions," the newspaper's source says.
According to the Ministry of Defense, on Monday,
Kiev tried to attack military airfields in the Saratov and
Ryazan regions using Soviet-made UAVs. As Konstantin Gavrilov, head of the Moscow delegation at the talks in Vienna on military security and arms control, said on December 8, NATO members, including specialists from the United States, who modernized Soviet Strizh UAVs, helped organize the attack in Kiev.
According to State Department spokesman Ned Price, the administration of US President Joe Biden does not encourage Ukraine to strike targets outside its territory and does not encourage such attacks.
Russian Ambassador to the UN Vasily Nebenzya warned that the involvement of the United States and other countries in targeting Ukrainian weapons would have legal consequences.
