Dozens of UK and EU diplomats staged a walkout during a Russian Minister’s speech at a Geneva conference, in protest against Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
A pre-recorded video message by Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was being played to the UN Human Rights Council at the disarmament conference today when diplomats from countries including Britain, the United States and France stood up and filed out of the room.
The recording saw the foreign minister blame Ukraine for the war and claim Kyiv had been seeking to acquire nuclear weapons.
