Russia’s ambassador has stormed out of a UN Security Council meeting in which Moscow was accused of weaponising a global food crisis and committing war crimes in Ukraine.

A visibly angered Vassily Nebenzia left the chamber during a statement by the European Council president to the 15-member body, telling reporters that he “couldn’t stay” because of “the lies that Charles Michel came here to distribute”.

Speaking directly to Mr Nebenzia as he walked out of a meeting on reports of sexual violence in Ukraine, Mr Michel said: “You may leave the room, maybe it’s easier not to listen to the truth.”

It came as Moscow threatened it would seek to seize more of Ukraine if western nations push ahead with plans to supply Kyiv with long-range rockets, which the UK vowed to do on Monday in the wake of the first Russian strikes on Kyiv since April.

It popped off to something else during Michel's speech, but I reran it and scrolled up to the spot where Russia departed. You don't get to see it, but you get to hear the EU's comment on it. TY, OP, for posting this instance. The UN is starting to call for the liberation of the Black Sea from the Russian blockade.
