UN week and Lavrov’s talks Vremya’s full UN roundup

Sep 23

Vremya’s Mikhail Akinchenko reviews UN high-level week, citing Lula’s warning about trust, Lavrov’s address, Trump and Pezeshkian on Iran and the Iranian delegation’s contacts with U.S. envoys. It covers Lavrov’s meetings with Rubio, Guterres, Grossi and Wadephul, Putin’s G20 invitation and circulation of a Russian report disputing the Bucha killings. It recalls Trump–Zelenskyy exchanges, an energy-truce proposal, Lavrov’s rejection of a pause in military operations and his comments on U.S. sanctions. The Bucha allegations, hostile characterizations, motives and diplomatic judgments remain the programme’s and speakers’ accounts; contacts and proposals are distinguished from an achieved compromise, and the independently identified appearances and meetings remain separate occurrences.

During his September 23 UN address, Pezeshkian holds photographs of Iran’s late supreme leader and children killed in the opening attacks, naming Minab and Lamerd. He attributes the leader’s death and civilian killings to Iran’s adversaries, and describes the Lamerd sports-hall weapon as a cluster bomb. IRINN repeats those accusations and shows selected later reactions welcoming his display of the images. Vremya replays the leader and school accusations. ABC identifies the school photographs with Minab, calls the attack a suspected American airstrike and explicitly says the Pentagon is still investigating. The photographs, his attributed allegations and those different degrees of reported attribution are preserved; they do not independently establish the weapon, responsibility or a new casualty total. The February attacks and subsequent accountability efforts remain separate historical occurrences rather than being redated to the UN speech.
