“I notice that Russian diplomats flee almost as quickly as Russian soldiers.”

And, several speakers, including Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba and British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly, pointed out that Lavrov skipped the meeting except for his speaking slot.

“I notice that Russian diplomats flee almost as quickly as Russian soldiers,” Kuleba said, referring to Lavrov’s hasty exit along with recent Russian troop retreats in Ukraine.

This was at the United Nations General Assembly but it has also been a Ukrainian soldier inspecting a destroyed Russian tank, it has been everywhere: the unique and uniquely endearing Ukrainian irreverent sense of humor. This is, with their courage and beauty, the beautiful simplicity of their flag, with their borscht😂, what makes the Ukrainian people the best of humanity.
