Ukraine's ambassador says Russia's 'words have less value than a hole in the New York pretzel' at a UN meeting

The Ukrainian ambassador to the United Nations called the Russian invasion a "Nazi-style course of action" during a United Nations Security Council draft resolution that called on Moscow to withdraw its troops.

The resolution was vetoed by the Russian ambassador, who called it anti-Russian.

How can we trust you? You don't know what your president is thinking. Ukrainian ambassador Sergiy Kyslytsya said after the vote that your words have less value than a hole in a pretzel.

Kyslytsya said that Russia's veto was not a surprise. The United States, which drafted the resolution, was one of the countries that voted in favor of it.

You can veto the resolution, but you can't veto the truth. You can't veto our principles. You can't veto the people. You can't veto the UN Charter. You will not veto accountability.

Kyslytsya invited Russia's ambassador to plead for salvation before starting a moment of silence.
