US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield speaks at an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.
United Nations:
US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield on Monday called it “nonsense” that Vladimir Putin claimed his troops sent to eastern Ukraine would be peacekeepers.
“We know what they really are,” the US envoy said at an emergency Security Council meeting on the crisis in Ukraine. Her comments followed those of Rosemary DiCarlo, the under-secretary-general for peacebuilding, who expressed “regret” that Russian troops were deployed in the two eastern separatist regions.
