The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova on May 11 said that members of the Ukrainian organization "Veterans of ATO" threatened the Russian diplomat who worked in the UN General Assembly Committee. According to her, the Ukrainian side invited an event for the propaganda and fake-news of the ATU veterans, including snipers who came from the south-east of Ukraine. "These people in camouflage, on the sidelines of the United Nations, approached the Russian representative - a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry press service - and began to threaten with physical violence. People ran around the UN in camouflage, shouted, photographed Russian diplomats and threatened. It was about direct threats, "- quotes Zakharova RIA" Novosti ". The Russian delegation reported on the state of emergency on the last day of the work of the committee without mentioning a specific country. At the same time, Zakharova noted, the official representative of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry confirmed that they held such an event. "What was our surprise when the committee chairman stated that the committee did not conduct any events under its aegis," the Russian diplomat said.. A representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry could not hide her astonishment: "Conducting an event whose main goal was to oppose propaganda and fake news, the Ukrainian missionary itself gave a fake news regarding the fact that this was part of the work of the committee of the General Assembly on Information".
