The United Nations chief and representatives from Western nations Berated Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov as he chaired a UN meeting. They accused Moscow of violating the UN Charter by attacking Ukraine and occupying part of its territory. In return, Lavrov defended what Moscow calls “its special military operation”, reiterating accusations that Ukraine was promoting “Nazi practices” and banning the Russian language and culture", Reuters reported.
