US, Russia clash at UN over North Korea, Patriot missiles in Ukraine
The United States accused Russia on Tuesday of firing at least nine North Korean-supplied missiles at Ukraine, while Moscow labeled Washington a 'direct accomplice' in the downing of a Russian military transport plane last month.
Russia's UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia and deputy US Ambassador to the UN Robert Wood traded the accusations at a UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine, requested by Moscow. Russia invaded neighbouring Ukraine nearly two years ago.
