Russian Delegation to UNESCO

🎙️Intervention by Mr. Kirill Rynza, Deputy Permanent Delegate of the Russian Federation to UNESCO, on the politicized decision adopted by the 225th session of the Executive Board concerning UNESCO’s emergency assistance for Ukraine (part 2): October 19, 2026 🟥The corrupt regime in Kiev, while taking advantage of the opportunities provided by UNESCO, violates the Organization’s fundamental principles. 🟥The Armed Forces of Ukraine attack civilian infrastructure and educational institutions. We recall the drone strike in May this year against the dormitory and academic building of the teacher training college in Starobelsk, which caused the deaths of 21 students aged between 15 and 18 with dozens more injured. 🟥The canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church is being persecuted. The monk of the Sviatogorsk Lavra has become a victim to the hatred unleashed by the regime. 🟥Kiev pays tribute to Hitler’s accomplices, who murdered and shot Jews, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Russians and Polish. 🟥It is outrageous that the UNESCO Office, the so-called “Antenna,” is ignoring the Kiev regime’s plots to make a “pantheon” of nazi criminals within the boundaries of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra - the World Heritage property. 🟥We are convinced that the Executive Board should neither encourage impunity nor turn a blind eye to Kiev’s actions that run counter to UNESCO’s mandate. ➡️Full text #Russia #UNESCO #225ExB
