U.S. Ambassador to Russia staying put to keep diplomatic channel open
Ukraine's ambassador to the U.N. calls on Russia to relinquish leadership of Security Council
"I was intending to ask the Russian ambassador to confirm on the record that the Russian troops will not start firing at Ukrainians today and go ahead with the offensive," Kyslytsya said."It became useless 48 minutes ago, because about 48 minutes ago, your president declared war on Ukraine." "You have a smartphone. You can call Lavrov right now," he said, in reference to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
