Zelenskyy to address UN Security Council for first time since Russian invasion

Deccan Chronicle  

United Nations: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is scheduled to address the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday, the first time he will address the most powerful UN organ since Russia's invasion of his country and after streets strewn with corpses of what appeared to be civilians were found in the suburbs of Kyiv, sparking worldwide horror and condemnation. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet said that she is “horrified” by the images of civilians lying dead on the streets and in improvised graves in the town of Bucha in Ukraine. We cannot let a Member State that is subverting every principle we hold dear to continue to sit on the UN Human Rights Council,” Thomas-Greenfield said. Thomas-Greenfield told National Public Radio that the US expects action in the General Assembly “as soon as possible – this week, and possibly as early as Thursday.” Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia, during a press briefing at the UN headquarters on the situation in Bucha, accused the Kiev regime, with active support from its Western sponsors, of promoting in Western mass media "fake news” about alleged “atrocities” of Russian military forces. The Russian envoy asserted that Moscow has “factual evidence” to prove this point and it intends to present it to the Security Council as soon as possible “so that the international community is not misled by the false narrative promoted by Kiev and its Western sponsors.” He said that there are no reports of atrocities which are accredited to the Russian military in Bucha, which happened before the Ukrainian army took control of the town.
