Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the Maldives Levan S. Dzhagaryan criticized former Maldivian President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom over his post on social media platform X, where Maumoon questioned the UN Security Council's silence regarding Russian air strikes in Ukraine.
In his post on August 27, Maumoon questioned the effectiveness of the UN Security Council, noting that while media reports highlighted Russian air strikes on Ukraine, the Council had remained silent.
Does UN Security Council still exist? BBC says Russia had launched massive air attacks on Ukraine during the last two nights. But no news of any UN reaction!

In response, Ambassador Dzhagaryan posted on the official Facebook page of the Russian Embassy, reminding Maumoon of the reasons behind Russia's military actions.
"I remind Mr. Gayoom that the barbaric actions of the Ukrainian administration have lead to numerous victims among the civic population of Donbass," the ambassador said.
Ambassador Dzhagaryan said that back in March 2022 in Istanbul, Russia and Ukraine were close to a peaceful settlement of the conflict. However, the USA and United Kingdom disrupted the talks and instructed Zelensky to continue the war, he added. He said that in total Russia came forward with peaceful initiatives 4 times, with the last one announced by President of Russia Vladimir Putin in June.
“ I strongly call Mr. Gayoom to refrain from following the policy of double standards traditionally pursued by the collective West,” the ambassador said.
Instead, he called on Maumoon to express concern over the UN Security Council's failure to address the suffering of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip due to one country's negative stance.
