At the session of the United Nations Security Council, Kosovo was also mentioned, with the representative of Russia trying to compare Kosovo's independence with the annexations it is planning to make in 4 regions of Ukraine. Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya's accusation that the West uses double standards was answered by the Albanian ambassador to the UN, Ferit Hoxha. He said that this statement of the Russian delegation about Kosovo is incorrect and wrong, since Pristina and Belgrade do not fight, but meet and dialogue.

"By denying the people of Donbas in the liberated territories of Ukraine the right to self-determination, the Western delegations are demonstrating their scandalous double standards. The most vocal critics of the referendum in Donbas, Zaporizhzhia, and Hurston's obelisks were once at the forefront of support for Kosovo's independence, then declared that the territory had the right to secede from the Serbian state if there was a real threat to the rights of Kosovo Albanians would be seriously affected by the so-called corrective continuity and that this was not just a statement, but the official legal position presented by Western states to the UN International Court of Justice in 2008. Unlike the situation in Crimea, Luhansk, Donetsk, and Zaporizhia, in Kosovo there was absolutely no referendum, the people did not vote there and it was only a declaration of independence, approved by the temporary self-governing authorities that exceeded their powers", said the Russian ambassador.
