Emergency UN Security Council Meeting on Ukraine

The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting on Monday, at the request of Ukraine, following new Russian strikes and the use of the Orechnik missile. The Ukrainian ambassador to the UN denounced that Russia has reached a “new terrifying level of war crimes” and that the use of Orechnik poses a serious threat to European security. The Russian strikes have caused heating outages in much of Kyiv, prompting the mayor to ask residents to leave temporarily. Ukraine's request was supported by six members of the Security Council.
