Russia's UN representative Nebenzya rebukes Security Council members for being 'emotional' about the Ukraine crisis
labeled Moscow's moves an attack on Ukraine's sovereignty.
"In seeking to redraw borders by force, Russia's actions show blatant contempt for international law," the UK's Ambassador to the UN, Dame Barbara Woodward, told the Security Council. She said the UK would soon be imposing new sanctions on Russia, adding that there would be"severe economic consequences to its actions."
Meanwhile, China's UN Ambassador Zhang Jun said every effort should be made to find a"diplomatic solution" to the Ukraine crisis and called on all parties involved to"seek reasonable solutions to address each other's concerns on the basis of equality and mutual respect." Nebenzya responded to the criticism of his country by pinning the blame for Moscow's ordering of troops into the separatist regions of Luhansk and Donetsk on Ukraine itself, citing the"militaristic plans of Kyiv" and Ukraine's"shelling and provocations" against the areas.
