"After all, these are the same people who for many years did not notice the bombing of Donbass, when there was no special military operation. These are the same people who point-blank did not notice the murdered children, who did not notice the orderly rows of children's graves," he said in an interview with Pavel Zarubin in the program "Moscow. Kremlin. Putin".
Russia at that time did not hear words of condemnation from the West, he stressed.
"In fact, they continue this gutta-percha line of theirs when it suits them - references to all these universal values for them. When it's inconvenient, these links don't happen," said a spokesman for the Russian leader.
The Kremlin said earlier that the United States and other Western countries continue to blame Russia and ignore the crimes of the Kyiv regime, including against people who live in territories that have already become Russian.
As Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, noted, Western countries, supplying Kiev with long-range artillery and rocket launchers, are turning into accomplices in crimes against the civilian population of Donbass and Ukraine.
