According to the diplomat, the Russian delegation in Vienna has no illusions that international organizations', including the OSCE's, ability to give any adequate response to the crimes of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with the support of a number of Western countries, but for Russian diplomacy this is not an obstacle to covering the real situation both in the special operation zone and in the Kursk region.
"Especially since the Global South countries represented at other Vienna venues show deep interest in Russia's position," Zhdanova noted.
Earlier, the diplomat stated that the OSCE leadership had not condemned the attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Kursk region.
