UNITED NATIONS, June 24. /TASS/. The West’s cooperation with Ukraine in weapons production makes European countries complicit in the killing of Russian children, Moscow’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Maria Zabolotskaya said.

"The drones used by the Ukrainian armed forces in these crimes are produced with the direct participation of European countries," she said at a UN Security Council meeting. "That said, European countries are complicit in the killing of children in Russia," the diplomat added.

She pointed out that a while ago, the German transnational corporation Hensoldt "openly announced cooperation with Ukrainian manufacturers," and a couple of days ago, Paris "provided the Eurosatory 2026 platform, the world’s largest arms exhibition, for showcasing drones that are being used to kill children in Russia," Zabolotskaya stressed.
