Ukraine missile attacks by Russia prompt emergency Security Council session as U.S. deputy ambassador to the United Nations Tammy Bruce condemns strikes on civilian infrastructure.
The United States accused Russia on Monday of a « dangerous and inexplicable escalation » of the war in Ukraine after Moscow launched new attacks on energy and civilian infrastructure in Kyiv, despite ongoing U.S.-led negotiations aimed at ending the conflict.
U.S. deputy ambassador to the United Nations Tammy Bruce said at an emergency U.N. Security Council session in New York that Russia’s actions risk expanding and intensifying the war, as the United States continues to work with Ukraine, Europe and Russia to reach a negotiated peace.
Bruce condemned Russia for its repeated missile and drone strikes on Ukraine’s energy facilities, including the launch of its nuclear-capable « Oreshnik » ballistic missile that targeted an area of Ukraine near the border with Poland and NATO.
