Russia’s Ambassador to the UN Vasily Nebenzya tells the Ukrainian diplomats at the UN that he’s more Ukrainian than them, but that in reality Ukrainians don’t really exist as they are the same thing as Russians: "Technically, I'm Ukrainian & I have such a strange last name. Slavs know it, it's hard to find even "in" Ukraine. It's from the Zaporozhian Cossacks. My father is a true Ukrainian. And my mother, too. Cossack. More so than you, Mrs. Betsa, and you, Mr. Melnyk. For us, it makes no difference. we're all the same”
