Russia's Foreign Minister Addresses UN Amid War Crimes Accusations

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will preside over the United Nations Security Council amid mounting allegations of Russian war crimes in Ukraine. The last time Russia held the presidency of the U.N. body tasked with preserving international security was a little over a year ago, when Moscow ordered its troops to invade Ukraine. A report commissioned by the United Nations last month found Russian forces in Ukraine committed an array of war crimes, including summary executions, torture, rape and other acts of sexual violence against Ukrainian civilians. Lavrov is expected to reiterate Moscow's claims that its troops are carrying out a "special military operation" and that Kyiv is the real aggressor.
