Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused the West of what he calls 'abandoning diplomacy' when it comes to the war in Ukraine.
Lavrov, chairing a UN Security Council meeting, also blamed the West — particularly the US — for ‘a profound crisis’ in the UN system.
Russia currently holds the rotating presidency of the Security Council.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Moscow is causing massive suffering and devastation in Ukraine.
