Russian-Led U.N. Meeting on Peace Draws West’s Accusations of Hypocrisy
A Russia deeply enmeshed in the biggest conflict in Europe since World War II dispatched its foreign minister to the United Nations Security Council on Monday to extol the virtues of peace and diplomacy.
But Western diplomats instantly accused Moscow of hypocrisy.
The spectacle occurred as Russia nears the end of its one-month presidency of the Council. Intent on using the platform to full advantage, its foreign minister, Sergey V. Lavrov, led an all-day session described as focused on the maintenance of the U.N. charter, international rules and multilateralism.
