Representatives of the Kremlin at the UN Security Council today, September 20, threw tantrums and exhibited panicked moods, according to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak.

"The Russian Permanent Representative Vasily Nebenzya today was frightened by the hammer at the UN General Assembly and threw a tantrum," the statement reads.

Yermak also emphasizes that the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was also frightened and did not attend the speech of the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, at the UN Security Council.

"Fear won't save them, The Hague is approaching," Yermak added.

Zelenskyy at the UN Security Council

Today, September 20, the Ukrainian president was personally present at a meeting of the UN Security Council for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.

Yesterday, RBC-Ukraine reported that Zelenskyy called for Russia to be removed from the Security Council. Also, Vasily Nebenzya attempted four times to interrupt the head of the Security Council to prevent President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy from speaking. However, the representative of the Kremlin failed to do so.

RBC-Ukraine has compiled the main statements from the speech of the head of the Ukrainian state.
