Skatert'ya Doraga Zuev
Russian Ambassador in Wellington, Georgii Zuev refuses to talk to the NZ Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Committees.
He says it would be futile.
I say it would mean he would proffer the story that his Russia was forced to defend itself against Ukrainian Nazi-ism and that there was no actual war taking place and no civilians have been murdered, killed, raped, tortured or forced to flee either to other countries or to Russia itself and that no non-military or non weapons-hiding buildings have been destroyed by Russian forces or bombardment. And so on. USA President, Joe Biden has called Russian actions in Ukraine "genocide" and that Putin is a war criminal. I am sure Jacinda Ardern concurs.
I am certain Zuev looks at TVNZ, CNN, BBC and Al Jazeera news and thus knows what many of the Russian population do not know about the so-called Russian Military Operation in Ukraine. So he could do what ambassadors are meant to do - talk to the NZ Government and its direct branches of Government - or get out of here.
I say that the PM or her Minister of Foreign Affairs should kick Zuev out because he has nothing to say and neither should we say anything more than skatert'ya doraga Mr Zuev.
