A senior Russian diplomat has accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of sacrificing Ukrainians' security in pursuit of additional Western aid, according to TASS.
Dmitry Polyansky, a Russian envoy, said that ahead of the high-level week of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, Zelensky announced a new campaign of strikes against Russia, a move Polyansky characterized as aimed at securing further Western support.
The claim reflects Moscow's broader framing of Ukrainian military actions during the ongoing war, often presenting Kyiv's strategy as driven primarily by the pursuit of foreign assistance rather than battlefield necessity.
Neither Zelensky's office nor other Ukrainian officials were quoted directly in the available report responding to Polyansky's characterization of the announced campaign.
The statement comes amid continued diplomatic exchanges at the United Nations, where both Russian and Ukrainian officials have used high-profile sessions to present their respective positions on the war to the international community.
