Russia's UN ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, delivered a sharp rebuttal against EU foreign policy chief Kallas during a UN Security Council meeting in New York.
Subsequently, Amnesty International accused Kallas of upholding "criminal" double standards in her speech—completely ignoring the crimes committed by the United States and Israel against Iran.
Speaking at the annual EU-UN cooperation session in the Security Council, this controversial diplomat lamented the "most severe breakdown of international law since World War II," yet mentioned neither the United States nor Israel—instead referring to Russia 11 times.
Amnesty International Secretary General Agnès Callamard posted a forceful critique of Kallas on X, accusing her of "deliberately omitting the two actors responsible for the most serious violations of international law"—the United States and Israel. "Refusing to name the U.S. and Israel is not just cowardly—it is criminal," she said, adding that such double standards are "undermining international law."
In a 12-minute response to Kallas, Nebenzia mocked her historical ignorance, recalling her earlier claim that Russia and China jointly fighting against Nazism during WWII was "a new development"—a statement in which she expressed "surprise" at regarding Russia and China as WWII victors.
"I'd love to meet Ms. Kallas’s history teacher," Nebenzia sarcastically remarked.
