Russia's Ambassador to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzya, admonished several countries on the UN Security Council for getting emotional over the Ukraine-Russia crisis.
Nebenzya chastised the security council for a number of very emotional statements.
He said during an emergency UN Security Council meeting that Western colleagues should think twice about setting emotions to one side and not making the situation worse.
Russia sent troops into the areas for a peacekeeping operation after declaring the two rebel-held regions as independent republics.
The Security Council members condemned Russia.
Linda Thomas-Greenfield is the US ambassador to the UN.
He calls them peacekeepers. This is not true. She said that they know what Putin really is. She claimed that the Russian operation would create a pretext for invasion.
The UK's Ambassador to the UN, Dame Barbara Woodward, told the Security Council that Russia's actions show blatant contempt for international law. She said the UK would soon be imposing new sanctions on Russia, and there would be severe economic consequences to its actions.
Ukrainian Ambassador to the UN Sergiy Kyslytsya said that the recent actions by the Russian Federation were a violation of sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. While his country has the right to self-defense under the UN Charter, it is also committed to a peaceful and diplomatic path.
The UN Ambassador from China called for reasonable solutions to address each other's concerns in regards to the Ukraine crisis and said that every effort should be made to find a diplomatic solution.
The current situation in Ukraine is a result of many factors. He said that China always makes its own position according to the merits of the matter.
Nebenzya blamed Moscow for ordering troops into the rebel regions of Luhansk and Donetsk because of the militaristic plans of the Ukrainian government.
He said Russia's involvement in Luhansk and Donetsk was an attempt to fulfill the desires of those living there.
Nebenzya accused the Ukrainian government of adopting a "bellicose rhetoric" toward the Donbas, refusing to hold dialogues with its representatives, and conducting military adventures in the region.
The aim of the agreements was to establish peace in eastern Ukraine. The deals include the withdrawal of foreign forces and military equipment.
The West has promised heavy sanctions against Russia after condemning its actions and fearing a full-scale invasion. US involvement in imports and exports and new investments in the regions have been banned by President Joe Biden.
