What remains unknown

The publication is a brief news item: it does not give the venue or format of Nebenzya's remarks, the full text of the statement, or the reaction of European countries or other UN participants. The outlet has marked the piece as 'story developing,' so details may appear later. The evaluative wording ('ferocity,' 'mythical threat') belongs to the Russian permanent representative and reflects Moscow's position; the publication provides no confirmation or refutation of these characterizations.
