Russia Blames US and Israel for Escalating Violence in Middle East

Russia accuses the US and Israel of escalating violence in the Middle East following their attack on Iran. The Russian representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, described the situation as an “unprecedented spiral of violence” and criticized the reactions of European countries, considering them hypocritical. Russia calls on all parties to cease hostilities and warns of the broader consequences of the crisis, including the potential impact on the war in Ukraine and the disruption of the global economy. Russia believes that Western countries are using the UN to promote their own interests.
