Vasily Nebenzia, Russia's representative to the United Nations, showcased a collection of plastic mines that resemble children's toys, accusing Ukraine of deploying them in residential areas and farms far away from the battle fronts. At the end of a Security Council session that was held on the occasion of six months since the start of the fighting in Ukraine, he said that 47 people were victims of these mines who had nothing to do with the fighting.

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, the Russian delegate, in response to a question about his assessment of the diplomatic role played by the United Nations in order to alleviate the crisis or achieve a peaceful solution to it, said that he accused the General Secretariat "of not conveying a true picture of what is happening on the ground."

Nebenzia said to Al Mayadeen: "Firstly, what is required of the United Nations is not to exacerbate the crisis, this is what we expect from the United Nations, and what we heard today from Under-Secretary-General Rosemary Di Carlo does not correspond to reality."

"Secondly, from our point of view, the UN is biased in the conflict, ignoring the facts... the facts that we regularly provide them with and make it very clear on which side the United Nations is leaning towards," he added.

Rosemary de Carlo had blamed Russia for the "outbreak of fighting", describing it as "it took place without provocation from Ukraine and without justification", and alleged that "war crimes and crimes against humanity were committed in the areas controlled by Russia."

On Saturday, the speaker of the DPR's legislature, Vladimir Bidyovka, condemned the use of the mines in Ukraine as an act of terrorism. 

Bidyovka recalled that using such mines without a self-destructing mechanism was prohibited by the Geneva Convention of 1996 - Russia has removed such mines from its operational use whereas Ukraine continues to use them.
