On Monday, January 31, at a UN Security Council (UNSC) meeting called to discuss the situation in Ukraine, the Russian envoy to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, accused the US and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) of whipping up war hysteria in eastern Europe.

Nebenzya was responding to the US permanent representative at the UN, Linda Thomas Greenfield, who reiterated her country’s claims of an imminent threat of Russian invasion of Ukraine. She called on the UN to take urgent steps to prevent the war, saying that failure to do so will lead to “horrible consequences.” She claimed that deployment at the Russian border is the “largest in decades” and that “diplomacy will not succeed in an atmosphere of threat and military escalation.”
