Russian UN Envoy Says Germany Blames Moscow for Security Council Seat Loss
Vasily Nebenzya suggested Germany is suffering "post-traumatic disorder" after failing to win a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council, according to TASS.
Russia's permanent representative to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzya, said Germany is experiencing what he described as a "post-traumatic disorder" after the country failed to secure a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council, the Russian state news agency TASS reported.
According to TASS, Nebenzya noted that German officials have attributed the setback to Russia, though the agency's report did not specify the exact remarks made by German officials or provide additional details on the circumstances of the vote.
TASS did not elaborate further on the timing of the Security Council vote in question or on any official response from German authorities regarding Nebenzya's characterization.
Russia and Germany have had strained diplomatic relations, particularly since the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, with both countries frequently exchanging pointed statements at the United Nations and in other international forums.
This report is based solely on the TASS excerpt available at the time of publication; further details on the vote and Germany's stated position have not been independently verified.
