West's sanctions against Russia are irresponsible - Russian envoy to UN
MOSCOW/NEW YORK. April 30 (Interfax) - The sanctions imposed on Russia by a number of Western countries reveal the West's irresponsible approach to international politics, Russian Permanent Representative at the UN Vitaly Churkin said.
"Instead of honestly working together to bring Ukraine out of the crisis, in which it has found itself because of their own political adventurism, our partners from the U.S. and EU countries are continuing to spread malicious insinuations regarding Russia's policies and plot against Russia, devising so-called sanctions, which are senseless and counterproductive," Churkin said at an extraordinary UN Security Council session on Ukraine.
"Perhaps this gives momentary satisfaction to someone," he said.
"However, no true responsibility for the fate of Ukraine, Europe, and the world is visible. Well, it means wrong times and wrong people," Churkin said.
