A Russian official who has objected to Zelensky's virtual U.N. remarks criticized the Ukrainian president for not visiting in person during his U.S. trip.
Zelensky traveled to Washington, D.C., earlier this week for his first known trip outside Ukraine since the Russia-Ukraine war began in late February.
Dmitry Polyanskiy, the first deputy permanent representative of Russia to the U.N., said Zelensky did not attempt to set up any U.N. meetings in New York, despite previously asking to address the U.N. Security Council virtually. "When we opposed @ZelenskyyUa speaking in UN Security Council via video link we were told that 'due to war' he is not able to come to brief us in person," Polyanskiy said in a Friday afternoon."Now he comes in person to beg US for more weapons bypassing NY and not even asking to address SC which was feasible."
Dmitry Polyanskiy, the first deputy permanent representative of Russia to the United Nations, is photographed attending a Security Council meeting addressing conflict and food security in Ukraine at United Nations headquarters on May 19 in New York City. On Friday, Polyanskiy said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky didn't ask to address the U.N. Security Council during his recent visit to the U.S.
"I hope that after such hubris towards UN from his part we will not face more requests to see him on the screen in breach of the rules of procedure," Polyanskiy
