However, the deputy speaker of Russia's Federation Council, Konstantin Kosachev, also delivered a video message.
"The aim of this draft [resolution] is to justify one side, and to put the whole responsibility on the other, pretending that nothing had happened before." "The Western mass media is trying to pass the horrifying footage made in Donetsk, where a missile strike recently killed 20 civilians and wounded dozens more, for the shots of Kyiv or Mariupol, because they have nothing else of these places."Mapisa-Nqakula said South Africa joined millions of global citizens to"call for [a] cessation of hostilities and allow peaceful mediation efforts between Ukraine and Russia".
