❗ Ambassador Gennady Gatilov’s comment regarding the statement by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Mr. Türk:

📍 October 13, 2026, Geneva

Mr. Türk,

🔹 I noticed your comment of October 8, 2026, concerning "deadly strikes in Ukraine".  I regretfully note that, once again, we are witnessing your "lightning-fast reaction" when it concerns events in Ukraine and an opportunity to baselessly accuse our country. Yet, in your characteristic hypocritical manner, you mention the crimes committed by the Ukrainian military against Russia's civilian population only incidentally, in a single line. What kind of impartiality we can then talk about?

🔹 It is deeply regrettable that, once again, you failed to condemn the UAF terrorist attacks that occur on an almost daily basis. I would remind you that in the single week on September 28 – October 4, attacks by Ukrainian neo-Nazis resulted in 235 civilian casualties: 206 people were injured, including 19 minors, and 29 were killed, including two children. Ukrainian militants deliberately struck ICRC trucks and a humanitarian aid warehouse in Donetsk. A blockade artificially created by the Ukrainians continues in Alyoshki, resulting in a humanitarian crisis. The people there are cut off from food, water, and medicine supplies. These are women, children, and the elderly. Ukrainian strikes on civilian Russian energy infrastructure do not stop.

❗️You shamefully remain silent about all of this. It does not interest you.

☝️ Over and over again, we have drawn your attention to the fact that such a politically biased stance regarding the Ukrainian crisis is unacceptable for a high-ranking UN official.

Mr. Türk,

🔹Your failure to fulfill your mandate objectively, impartially, and in good faith is becoming increasingly obvious to the international community. This has been confirmed by the flawed nature of your appointment to this post by the UN General Assembly.

🔹I once again on you and the OHCHR to finally abandon the blanket exoneration of the bloody Kiev regime, to demonstrate genuine impartiality and independence, and to finally start providing an objective assessment of the situation surrounding Ukraine.
