More ‘distortions, dishonesty and disinformation’ from Russia say UN foreign secretary

After Russia’s foreign minister delivered a speech, James Cleverly, the foreign secretary, said that we have since heard additional “distortions, dishonesty, and disinformation” from Russia.

At a UN Security Council meeting, Mr. Cleverly said: “President Putin invaded Ukraine illegally and without justification. He ignored the resounding pleas for peace I heard in this council on 17 February”.

He adds that Russia has tried to “lay the blame on those imposing sanctions” for Vladimir Putin’s invasion.

“Every day, the devastating consequences of Russia’s invasion become more clear,” he added.

“We see the mounting evidence of Russian atrocities against civilians, including indiscriminate shelling and targeted attacks on more than 200 medical facilities and 40 educational institutions – and horrific acts of sexual violence.”

Mr Cleverly then went on to talk about food security.

He said: “We are not sanctioning food, it is Russia’s actions that are preventing food and fertilizer from reaching developing countries.”
