Zelenskiy expected to address UN Security Council meeting on Russian missiles strikes
WASHINGTON, Nov 23 (Reuters) – Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelenskiy is expected to brief the United Nations
Security Council on Wednesday, a move that angered Russia, to
speak about the damage to his country’s civilian infrastructure
from Russian missile strikes.
A spokesperson for the U.S. mission to the United Nations
said the United States, Albania and Ukraine requested the
previously unscheduled meeting at 4 p.m. on Wednesday to discuss
“Russia’s massive missile strikes today damaging critical
civilian infrastructure across Ukraine.”
Russia unleashed a missile barrage across Ukraine earlier in
the day, forcing shutdowns of nuclear power plants and killing
civilians in Kyiv.
A diplomat from a Security Council member nation, who
requested anonymity, said that Zelenskiy would address the
council.
