(MENAFN- AzerNews) Europe recalls human rights and European values only when it
thinks appropriate, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry
Peskov said on Sunday, Azernews repots, citing TASS.
"Human rights and European values are seen by Europeans as
something flexible," he said in an interview with the
Moscow.Kremlim.Putin program on the Rossiya-1 television channel,
commenting on the West's silence about Ukraine's shelling attacks
on Russia's borderline Belgorod region.
"As a matter of fact, they continue their flexible line: when it
is in their interests, they refer to these 'universal values.' When
it is not, they never do it," he said.
He recalled that for years Western countries "have been ignoring
shelling attacks on Donbass, when there was no special military
operation." "There people have been turning a blind eye on killed
children, on rows on children's graves in Donbass. And we heard not
a single word of condemnation from them," he stressed.
