According to TASS, he said this at a meeting of the UN Security Council convened at the initiative of Moscow, dedicated to the topic of Western arms supplies to Kiev.

Nebenzia noted that the cities of Donbass have been under constant shelling since 2014.

"Not a day goes by now that there are no reports of civilian casualties," Nebenzia said.

According to him, Western countries are aware of these realities, but do not remember either the protection of civilians or the norms of international humanitarian law.

"They are not at all embarrassed by the fact that these strikes are delivered by weapons supplied by them," the Russian permanent representative added.

Earlier, Vasily Nebenzya said that Russia reserves the right to take all measures to neutralize threats from Ukraine.

Also, according to Geng Shuang, Deputy Permanent Representative of the People's Republic of China to the UN, the supply of weapons to the Ukrainian conflict zone leads to escalation.
