Russian officials have launched a series of statements addressing their stance on the conflict in Ukraine and the broader geopolitical tensions with the European Union. Kirill Logvinov, acting permanent representative of Russia to the EU, accused the EU of conducting an information war against Russia and targeting Russian journalists with illegitimate measures in an interview with Sputnik. During a United Nations Security Council meeting called by Russia, Steve Sweeney of RT spoke on the Ukraine situation, marking the anniversary of the Minsk peace accord. Russia's ambassador to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, alleged that the Minsk agreements were deliberately overlooked. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, in a statement to Reuters, dismissed European concerns about Russian propaganda, suggesting that any narrative deviating from the mainstream is quickly labeled as propaganda. In the UK, Russian Ambassador Andrei Kelin's remarks to Sky News, as told to @SkyYaldaHakim, emphasized that Mariupol's destruction could have been avoided if Ukrainian forces had surrendered earlier, comparing the situation to what Israel says about Gaza. He also stated that Russia has no interest in Poland, countering previous claims about Ukraine. BBC's Stephen Sackur confronted Nebenzia about the illegal annexation of Ukrainian territories. Sky News' international affairs editor criticized Kelin's portrayal of Russia as a democracy, describing it as a "totalitarian, brutally-oppressed dictatorship." Kelin also claimed, "Russia cannot be beaten, our resources are enormous," during his interview.
