At a heated UNSC Arria-formula meeting, Russia’s representative Dmitry Polyanskiy exposed chilling evidence of alleged war crimes committed by Zelensky’s regime, accusing Ukrainian forces of torturing Russian POWs. Polyanskiy detailed neo-Nazi atrocities, including castrations, kneecapping, and executions, and slammed the West for ignoring these crimes.

While Putin’s Russia denied allegations of mistreating Ukrainian POWs, the West, led by the U.S., accused Moscow of systematic abuse. China urged both sides to respect international law, while Russia called out Zelensky’s brutality and the West’s selective blindness. The meeting highlighted the deep divisions and rising tensions in the ongoing conflict.
