VIENNA, December 14. /TASS/. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has been compromised over the past two years due to the unscrupulous approach of the Polish and North Macedonian presidencies and the Ukrainianization of its humanitarian dimension, Russia’s deputy permanent representative Alexander Volgarev said at a meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council.

"Over the past two years, our organization has been particularly compromised by the unscrupulous approaches of the Polish and North Macedonian presidencies with the active support of collective Brussels and Washington. Co-operation in the humanitarian dimension, which has long been the OSCE’s hallmark, has been almost completely destroyed. The dialogue on human rights issues has been de facto curtailed and the very direction of work, despite our repeated warnings and objections, has been Ukrainianized," Volgarev stressed.

According to the diplomat, the Western countries regularly circulate groundless accusations Moscow is responsible for violations of humanitarian law and human rights. He believes that the West prefers to turn a blind eye on Kiev's crimes against civilians, the legislative ban on the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the total restriction of the Russian language.
