UN envoy accused of dodging Ukraine strike sites, says Russian diplomat

Russian diplomat Rodion Miroshnik stated that UN human rights officials refuse to visit sites of Ukrainian armed forces strikes, citing alleged inability to verify facts. He accused the UN Human Rights Office of bias and hiding behind excuses. Miroshnik claimed the office regularly references supposed impossibility of confirming international law violations by Kyiv. He said when asked to visit, they raise numerous conditions, including wanting to travel from Kyiv rather than Moscow. The diplomat made these remarks to RIA Novosti, providing an example of UN representatives' demands regarding travel routes. The news report indicates the story is still developing.
