Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova responded to UN Secretary-General Guterres:
"UN Secretary-General Guterres said: 'If a just peace cannot be achieved on the basis of respecting Ukraine's territorial integrity, it will lead to the destruction of international law and global chaos.'
The Secretary-General has inverted the cause and effect - the fact is exactly the opposite. It is precisely because international law has been violated that it has become impossible to maintain Ukraine's territorial integrity and peace.
Who broke international law? It was the collective West.
How did they break it? By interfering in internal affairs, directly manipulating elections, bribing officials, fomenting radical nationalism, violating human rights, militarizing Ukraine, and refusing to implement resolutions of the UN Security Council."
