Russia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzya, delivers a confrontational speech during a UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine. Nebenzya accuses Kiev and its Western allies of prolonging the conflict, rejects the idea of European mediation, and claims Ukraine violated ceasefire agreements tens of thousands of times.
The speech covers Russia’s position on peace negotiations, NATO involvement, alleged Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian territory, accusations against the UN over the Bucha incident, criticism of EU and Western support for Kiev, and claims of corruption inside the Ukrainian leadership. Nebenzya also comments on Donald Trump’s role in potential settlement efforts and issues warnings regarding Baltic involvement in drone operations against Russia.

R2P was used by the West to invade the Global South.
Russia invaded UA for the same reason, but that was against the illegitimate coup.

There no such thing as R2P in international law. Article 51 is an actual legal principle though.
