Russia made its case to the world Saturday for its war in Ukraine, repeating a series of grievances about its neighbor and the West to tell the U.N. General Assembly meeting of leaders that Moscow had “no choice” but to take military action.
“Neither partial mobilization, nuclear saber-rattling, nor any other escalation will deter us from supporting Ukraine,” Swedish Foreign Minister Ann Linde declared Saturday.
“We can expect President Putin will claim any Ukrainian effort to liberate this land as an attack on so-called ‘Russian territory,’" U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken Lavrov dismissed the complaints as the West “throwing a fit” about people making a choice on where they feel they belong. The aim was “to remove the threats against our security, which NATO has been consistently creating in Ukraine,” he explained.
