Tensions in Middle East reveal Russia's hypocrisy - Sybiha

Ukrinform
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said that tensions in the Middle East show at least two examples of Moscow's hypocrisy.

He wrote about this on social network X, according to Ukrinform.

"First, Putin desperately tries to save Iran's nuclear weapons production capabilities while posing as a “mediator”. Second, Russia condemns strikes in the Middle East while ruthlessly attacking Ukraine. Putin pretends to offer his services in ending a war in the Middle East while refusing to end his own," Sybiha emphasized.

According to the foreign minister, the only rational conclusion is that Russia cannot be trusted in any situation. He added that Russia is always part of the problem, not the solution.

As reported by Ukrinform, US President Donald Trump said that during a telephone conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, he rejected his offer to mediate in negotiations with Iran, advising him to engage in “his own mediation.”
