Zakharova: I would like to hope that the UN request about the Kursk region is not a performance

I would like to hope that the request of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) for access to the Kursk region is not a performance. This was announced today, August 14, by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, on Sputnik radio.

"I really hope that what they said is not a performance or a desire to absolve themselves of responsibility. I really would like to hope that this is some kind of path to awakening," Zakharova said.

As reported by EADaily, on the eve of the official representative of OHCHR Ravina Shamdassani asked Russia to grant its employees access to the Kursk region to verify information "on human rights violations by the Ukrainian military." Prior to that, the Commissioner for Human Rights in Russian Tatyana Moskalkova appealed to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights with a demand to condemn terrorism from Ukraine.
