Russia denies claims of sexual violence in Ukraine
As Qazet.az been reporting, there was a fiery meeting of the UN Security Council yesterday.
The Russian ambassador walked out of the session, after his country was blamed by the EU for a global food crisis with its invasion.
But global food supplies were not the only item on the agenda in New York.
Vassily Nebenzia had earlier denied claims of sexual violence by Russian forces in Ukraine - claiming there was "no proof" of these, according to remarks quoted by the AFP agency.
But such allegations were "mounting", said top UN official Pramila Patten.
As of 3 June, the UN had received reports of 124 claims of conflict-related sexual violence across Ukraine.
