Tammy Bruce at UN on Ukraine: ‘It would be nice if Russia matched their words with deeds’ – The Economic Times Video

The U.N. Security Council met on Monday (January 12) as United Nations officials warned that Russia has intensified attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during a deep winter freeze, leaving millions without heat, electricity and water. U.N. political affairs chief Rosemary DiCarlo told the council that Russian strikes have escalated as temperatures plunge far below freezing, killing and injuring civilians and disproportionately affecting the elderly, children and people with limited mobility. DiCarlo said the attacks followed a troubling pattern, intensifying when weather conditions worsen and civilian need for heating becomes most acute. The United States said the attacks came even as diplomatic efforts were underway to negotiate an end to the war. U.S. Deputy Ambassador to the U.N. Tammy Bruce told the council that Washington was closer to a peace deal than at any point since the conflict began, but said Russia had escalated by launching a nuclear-capable Oreshnik ballistic missile near the Polish and NATO border.
