Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of being a “terrorist state” at the United Nations on Tuesday, prompting Russia to charge that he was using a Security Council address as a “remote PR campaign” to solicit more Western weapons.

Zelenskyy pushed the Security Council to expel Moscow from the United Nations and to create a tribunal to investigate actions of the Russian military in Ukraine, which invaded on February 24.“Russia does not have the right to take part in discussing and voting in regard to the war in Ukraine, which is unprovoked and simply colonialist of the part of Russia,” Zelenskyy told the council.

Russia’s Deputy UN Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy told the council that Zelenskyy’s appearance via video had undermined the authority of the body, which is charged with maintaining international peace and security. The council met after Ukraine said a Russian missile strike deliberately targeted a shopping mall on Monday, killing at least 18 people.
