The controversial EU diplomat has also been slammed for “criminal” hypocrisy by Amnesty International
Russia’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, launched a stinging rebuke of EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas’s address at the UN Security Council in New York on Monday.
Kallas has since been accused of “criminal” double standards in her speech by Amnesty International for ignoring US and Israeli crimes against Iran.
The controversial diplomat spoke during the annual Security Council session on EU-UN cooperation, during which she lamented the “greatest breakdown of international law since the Second World War,” without once mentioning the US or Israel, but mentioning Russia 11 times.
Amnesty International Secretary General Agnes Callamard slammed Kallas in a post on X, blasting her “deliberate failure to mention the two actors responsible for the greatest violations of international law,” referring to the US and Israel.

Her claim to have been surprised that Russia and China, who together lost some 35 million people during WW2, are considered among the conflict’s victors was described by Responsible Statecraft as “shocking ignorance.”
“It would be very interesting to meet Mrs. Kallas’s history teacher,” Nebenzia retorted.
