“Call Putin, call (Foreign Minister) Lavrov to stop this aggression,” urged Mr. Kyslytsya, addressing his Russian counterpart, Vassily Nebenzia.
“It’s not a war, it’s a military operation,” retorted Mr. Nebenzia, during a heated exchange between the two men.
The Russian ambassador to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, for his part affirmed that his country was targeting “the junta in power in Kiev”, after the announcement by President Vladimir Putin of a “military operation” in Ukraine.
