Nebenzia: Troubled international relations show tendencies similar to those that existed before World War II

New York-SANA

Russia's permanent representative to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzia, stressed today that attempts to rewrite history are linked to a desire to deny Russia its status as one of the pillars of the world order.

Sputnik quoted Nebenzia as saying during a meeting of the UN Security Council under the title "75 years after the end of World War II on European soil" that the greatest lesson in World War II "is that mankind has realized the need to make a vaccine against the ideology of hate," noting that relations The current turbulent internationalism shows "some tendencies that resemble the tendencies that existed before the First World War and the Second World War and are represented by a deep distrust between the major international players."

Nebenzia stressed that rewriting history has become a trend and the goal is clear - to blame and retroactively deny Russia its status as one of the pillars of the world order.

The Russian delegate concluded by saying: Instead of uniting efforts to deal with real challenges such as international terrorism, drug smuggling, cyber crime and others, some of you are searching for an enemy like a black cat in a dark room.

Earlier today, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that attempts to rewrite history and equate the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany with responsibility for launching World War II were made to force Russia to provide justifications, describing attempts to accuse the Soviet Union of igniting World War II with "nonsense."

The Pentagon published a report on the First World War yesterday saying that "victory in Europe was achieved when the German armed forces surrendered unconditionally to the allies, including the United States of America."
