MOSCOW, October 24. /TASS/. The UN admits double standards in its work on assessment of the situations in Ukraine and the Middle East, Russia's first deputy permanent representative to the UN Dmitry Polyansky said.

"We clearly see double standards in the UN’s work in many situations. In particular, <…> if we take Ukraine and the Middle East," he said in a video conference. "We constantly reproached UN Secretary-General with starting to accuse Russia of some actins in Ukraine without waiting for facts, only because those actions ended up on the news and it was necessary to react urgently," the diplomat added.
