Russia says UN secretary-general involved in plot to blame Moscow for Bucha provocation

MOSCOW, September 17. /TASS/. Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova accused UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres of being in on the plot to blame Russia for murders committed in Bucha.

"Guterres, and I can officially state this, consciously hopped on the anti-Russia train," the diplomat said at a press conference at TASS dedicated to the presentation of the report of the International Public Tribunal for Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis, which exposes the falsification of events in Bucha.

Zakharova stated firmly that this constitutes a "violation of the principle of neutrality, which is fundamental for the chief administrative officer of the United Nations. He trampled on this principle and has fully become part of this provocation."
