Russia and the U.S. trade accusations over Ukraine at the United Nations Security Council. Moscow's U.N. ambassador accuses Biden administration of 'hysterics' before he walks out.
A stormy, angry session of the United Nations’ highest body on Monday heightened deep global rifts and raised new accusations about the, with the American and Russian sides harshly accusing each other of escalating the conflict.
That information, State Department officials said later, is based on U.S. intelligence reports but the officials would not publicly elaborate. While Russia has confirmed moving troops into Belarus for drills, the number that Thomas-Greenfield gave was higher than previously mentioned. “There is no proof” that Moscow is planning aggressive military action, Nebenzia said, turning to Thomas-Greenfield. “You are almost calling for this, you want it to happen, you are waiting for it to happen.”
“The provocations are from Russia, not from us,” said Thomas-Greenfield, who contended she could not let Nebenzia’s falsehoods go unchallenged. Another such effort happens Tuesday when U.S. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken will speak by telephone with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. They will discuss U.S. responses to Russian demands, and Moscow’s reaction to them. Russia submitted written responses to Washington on Monday, according to a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the diplomatic efforts.
