evidence: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed a leaked U.N. email instructing staff not to characterize Russia’s attack on Ukraine as a "war" or "invasion," but instead as a "conflict" or "military offensive." [...] "It’s hard to believe that the UN could essentially impose the same kind of censorship as the Kremlin imposes inside Russia now by banning the use of words ‘war’ and ‘invasion’ among UN staff," Kuleba tweeted on Tuesday. "I urge the UN to swiftly refute such reports if they are false. UN reputation at stake." [...] "I just wanted to correct the mistaken impression that U.N. staff were told to avoid using certain words to describe the situation in Ukraine," Dujarric said. "It’s simply not the case that there was some sort of global instructions to all U.N. staff not to use words like ‘war’ or ‘invasion’ to describe the situation."
