Lavrov chairs UN meeting as Russia faces criticism and war crimes accusations.
TL;DR Summary
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres criticized Russia's invasion of Ukraine during a UN Security Council meeting chaired by Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Guterres stated that the invasion is causing massive suffering and devastation to Ukraine and its people, and fueling global economic dislocation triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Lavrov, in turn, warned that tensions between major powers are at an historic high and that the loss of trust in multilateralism is worsening the situation. The meeting also discussed the need to save an agreement that allows the safe Black Sea export of Ukraine's grain, which could expire on May 18.
