Moscow has accused the West of “whipping up tensions” over Ukraine in a heated exchange at the UN Security Council, as the US warned that Russia’s growing military force of more than 100,000 troops along Ukraine’s borders was “the largest mobilisation” in Europe in decades.
The UNSC met on Monday to discuss Russia’s troop buildup, the first in a series of high-stakes meetings and talks planned this week aimed at defusing the Ukraine crisis.
