Ukraine seeks 'very firm' UNSC action against Russia, which Kiev accuses of unleashing a new missile onslaught on the country's battered energy grid, compounding hardship of winter for millions, as fighting enters its 274th day Follow our live coverage:👇
New Russian strikes batter Ukraine's already failing electricity grid, causing blackouts across the nation and in neighbouring Moldova, attacks Ukraine's Zelenskyy calls"an obvious crime against humanity," as fighting enters its 274th day.
"Today is just one day but we have received 70 missiles. That's the Russian formula of terror," Zelenskyy said via video link to the council chamber in New York, adding that hospitals, schools, transport infrastructure and residential areas had all been hit. Russia's UN ambassador Vasily Nebenzya responded by complaining that it was against council rules for ZelenskYy to appear via video, and rejected what he called "reckless threats and ultimatums" by Ukraine and its supporters in the West.
Nebenzya said damage to Ukraine's infrastructure was caused by missiles fired by Ukrainian air defence systems that crashed into civilian areas after being fired at Russia's missiles and called on the West to stop providing Ukraine with air defence missiles.
