During a minute’s silence held by the United Nations Security Council to honor the victims of the conflict in Ukraine, Russia’s UN representative, Vasily Nebenzya, interrupted the silence proposed by Ukraine’s Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba.
Nebenzya tapped his microphone, insisting that the minute’s silence should be held for all those who perished in the conflict, including those since 2014, and demanded that Putin’s fallen troops be remembered.
Moscow has accused Kyiv of committing genocide against Russian speakers in the eastern Donbas region of Ukraine, which has seen fighting between Ukraine’s forces and Russian separatists since 2014.
The fracas came after the UN voted overwhelmingly to demand Russia immediately and unconditionally withdraw its troops from Ukraine.
The vote showed Moscow’s continued isolation on the world stage after 12 months of war, earning support from only six other nations: Belarus, Syria, North Korea, Mali, Nicaragua, and Eritrea. Despite its limited backing, Russia has used its veto power to block any binding motions against it in the UN Security Council.
