Lavrov was addressing the UN Human Rights Council remotely, after canceling his visit due to what the Russian mission said on Monday were EU states blocking his flight path. A Russian armored column bore down on Ukraine's capital Kyiv on Tuesday and invasion forces fired rocket barrages into the center of Kharkiv, the country's second largest city, on the sixth day of Russia's assault on its neighbor.Among the diplomats who walked out, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly and Danish Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod joined Ukraine's ambassador Yevheniia Filipenko behind a large Ukrainian blue and yellow flag.
So don’t think that 40 countries are idiots taking a stand against Putin.
World wake-up. Putin practically 'screwed up' the world by ordering military operation in breakaway region of Ukraine, pretending as 'peacekeepers'. Instead he invaded & bombed Kyiv the capital of Ukraine (700 miles away from breakaway region) & other cities, killing civilians.
