Russian UN Envoy Calls On UK Government to Stop Its Colonial Habits

UK should stop supporting terrorists around the world and intervening in the internal affairs of the sovereign states, Russia’s Envoy to the UN Vitaly Churkin said in answer to the criticism from the UK and other member of the Security Council.

UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) – The criticism came after Russia vetoed French draft resolution aiming to end hostilities in Syrian Aleppo. UK called on Russia to stop its actions in Syria saying they are one of the main reasons of civilian deaths.

In his speech Russian envoy urged the government of the United Kingdom to stop supporting "motley horde" around the world and abandon its colonial habits.

"Stop intervening in the internal affairs of sovereign states, stop your colonial habits, leave the world in peace and then, may be, the situation will improve in many areas," Churkin said.

Churkin also said the UK should stop supporting terrorists and all those who exacerbate the situation on the ground. Responding to the criticism in general, Churkin said that insults "don’t destruct us from what’s important".
