The alleged language guidelines are an effort to remain “impartial”

The United Nations has banned its staff from referring to the conflict in Ukraine as a “war” or an “invasion,” and forbidden them from adding the Ukrainian flag to their social media profiles, according to an Irish Times report on Tuesday. In such matters, the UN reportedly told its employees that they have a “responsibility to be impartial.”

In an email to staff on Monday, the UN’s communications department reportedly set out “some specific examples of language to use/not use at the moment.”

“[Use] ‘conflict’ or ‘military offensive’ and NOT ‘war’ or ‘invasion’ when referring to the situation in Ukraine,” the email apparently read, before warning employees: “Do NOT add the Ukrainian flag to personal or official social media accounts or websites.”

“This is an important reminder that we, as international civil servants, have a responsibility to be impartial … there is a serious possibility of reputational risk that has been flagged by senior officials recently.”

UN staff were instructed not to use "war" or "invasion" and to use "conflict" or "military offensive" instead, according to an internal email seen by the Irish Times.It comes as the Kremlin cracks down on the use of the same words within Russia https:///o3tseMf6Mh pic.twitter.com/rylBseiKo8

Impartiality in matters of war and peace is considered important at the United Nations, especially considering Russia occupies a permanent seat on its Security Council. However, diplomats from western countries have used the UN as a platform to signal their opposition to Russia, with dozens walking out during a speech by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva last week, and others placing placards reading “Stands with Ukraine” beside their nameplates during a meeting of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons on Tuesday.

Russia does not describe its own actions in Ukraine as an “invasion,” but a “special military operation” aimed at neutralizing what it views as a hostile government in Kiev. Due to a recently passed law targeting “fake news” in regards to the conflict in Ukraine, Russian media outlets have been avoiding use of such terms as “assault,” “invasion,” or “war,” using either the Kremlin’s terminology or the politically neutral and factually correct “military offensive” instead.

Western outlets and government have for the most part sided with Ukraine in calling the situation an “invasion” or “war of aggression,” despite Kiev itself still avoiding officially declaring war.

At time of writing, the UN has not commented on the email. Mikhail Podolyak, advisor to the Ukrainian president, has called the publication in The Irish Times a “Russian provocation.”

A sensible statesman. This is what every rational person knows.

Makes you wonder why everyone is painting Putin as the bad guy.

They are zombies who can't think

Zombies, this crisis has shown the alarming number of zombies and people who can't think in every part of the world.

This people are still pushing because Russia has been civil with this war. Hmmm

Useless leaders, what happened to non alignment. Even smaller countries are abstaining.

Hahaha you win this one my son
But my statement on Putin trying to bring back the old Soviet Union still stands.

I rest my case

SarkinYarki:
It's an SOS humanitarian convoy heading to save Kyiv from the cocaine addict Zelensky who drug deluded to think he is a westerner

you are Very right. "SOS humanitarian convoy"

Jackanda1:
What's wrong with joining EU?

It's a precursor to joining NATO that's the fear of Russia. And with the behaviour of Zelensky he has shown that he can't be trusted.

spartan117:
You seem so slow to understanding.
NATO is a defensive coalition that protects it's members through ballistic missile defense mechanisms. Read this article for enlightenment
https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_49635.htm

US will not deploy nuclear weapons in NATO countries as that will be a declaration of war. Why do you think they haven't deployed any in Turkey? Is Turkey not a NATO country that is relatively close to Russia?

The reason for the Russian aggression is as you stated, NATO being a defensive coalition will be forced to confront Russia if Ukraine joins. However Russia decided to attack to stop Ukraine from joining Not because they are scared of NATO deploying nuclear weapons that will threaten their existence in Ukraine, but because President Putin sees Ukraine as a part of the old Soviet Union and is trying everything to bring back USSR.

Hope you now understand son?

na wa o, young boy stop displaying ignorance and confusion, read well before rushing to quote. Your first paragraph already confirmed my stance, I already stated NATO is a defence coalition earlier.

Your second paragraph shows your ignorance, NATO countries of Italy, Germany, Netherlands and even the Turkey you quoted hosts US nuclear weapons.

My friend go and do more research before you quote me again, stop displaying ignorance.

French President from the beginning of the conflict already said "the war would last" meaning they want the conflict to continue for as long as they wish for their own selfish reasons. This Zelensky guy from his body language also doesn't want to back down,he is just allowing himself to be used as a Pawn in the hands of great powers.

At the end Russians are moving freely and at peace, it's Ukraine that is being destroyed.

Hohaiiiode:
And Ukraine president was signing proposal to join the European Union

exactly.

Unless there was an agreement for a cease fire, which I don't think there was. But negotiations also didn't stop you from signing the document to join the EU. And you want Putin to stop the bombing. Is this not double standards. Putin is not a fool

You are not making sense

spartan117:
Finally! your brain don dey click small. Russia acted without there being any direct security threat on their territory unlike the events leading to the Cuban missile crisis where there were already plans to deploy missiles. This one's na EU and NATO them say dey wan join no be missile they deploy.

The whole point of my mentioning you was to point that out.

you are obviously ignorant of the rules. Let me educate you small, once Ukraine joins NATO, automatically it means they can host NATO weapons and any attack by Russia on Ukraine after joining NATO would mean all NATO members would attack Russia, it's called collective defence. And that would signal 3rd world war.

I hope your brain don click well now

excel101:
This is simple explanation. You don't need to have an analytical mind to understeand this thing. Presented the former Soviet Union (Russia). Russia is in bracket. Is it difficult to understand? Guy I beg go carry slate, and if your head no fit carry am, then go ile-kewu

the first time you quoted me I knew the topic is too big for you to comprehend. Next time read very well before you quote someone, Or better still focus on crime and romance section.

spartan117:
Did US put any missile in Ukraine?

Russia should wait for U.S and NATO to put missile before they act. una dey make me laugh.

excel101:
Liar! It was same Soviet Union (Russia), that were constructing Nuclear Missile in Cuba, in1962 that then American President John F. Kennedy was against. Please stop misinforming people.

when they tell you guys to read, you won't, who is Soviet Union who is Russia. Did JFK threaten to use nuclear weyor not? Na wa o

JOemmy:
Have Ukraine joined NATO? Have the US installed any missile in Ukraine that is targeting russia? There's absolutely no justifications for this russian unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

so Russia should wait until Ukraine joins NATO and host their missiles.

Let me educate you small, the moment Ukraine joins NATO it's over for Russia, because if they attack Ukraine the whole NATO attacks, then you have your 3rd world war.

Focusmind:
Most of the "students" here are kids. They won't understand. Fantastic analysis.

You don't strangulate a nuclear power like that and cut them off from the world. This is the harshest sanction ever imposed on any country. Russia will truly feel the impact. You could tell that Putin has started feeling uneasy because of these sanctions.

most Nigerians don't read and research, even of they do it's always one sided, filled with sentiments and no objectivity. It's worse with this generation. The only thing holding Russia is the energy sector hasn't been sanctioned yet

Help2020:
Your country has been invading other nations for years nobody sanctioned you. Get the fucck out of here

no mind them

Economically strangulating a nuclear power is a declaration of war.

JFK threatened to ignite a nuclear war in 1962 if Russia refused to remove their missile from Cuba.

US is doing the same thing now in Ukraine, and people expect Russia to be quiet.

I am surprised Putin didn't even threaten to nuke Ukraine at first, just like JFK threatened to nuke Cuba.

immortalcrown:
This is pure wickedness. It has nothing to do with the war. As long as the boss duly pays the sailor's salary, the sailor is just wicked. It is better to quit the job to demonstrate your patriotism. Sinking the ship cannot stop the war. Now, you have made the boss fear all his employees from your country.

you have said it all.

Hmm truly Putin was right. These guys are Nazi's. I pity the poor Ukrainians working in Russia. after this war, they might move to Germany, France, Poland, US. Because actions like what this fool did would create fear and distrust.

The west have succeeded in sowing discord among brothers.

bepositive11:
I thought the same at first. Check out the PBS documentary on it with solid evidence. Trump wouldn't have won without Russia's hack and social media campaign

well it's very possible. But at the end the US were given a dose of their own medicine.
