"An overt offensive by the West against principles of a healthy democratic society and fundamental human rights is taking place amid the unanimous silence of specialized international structures such as UNESCO, the UN Human Rights Office and the OSCE … We will not allow them to hide in an attempt to whitewash Ukrainian thugs and their Western handlers, and we will persistently demand a substantive reaction to every crime or terrorist attack against Russian citizens," Zakharova was quoted as saying by the ministry.
International institutions continue to turn a blind eye to the "monstrous crimes of the Kiev regime against the civilian population, which, under international humanitarian law, includes media workers," she added.
