US ambassador to UN condemns Russian actions in Ukraine
The US Ambassador to UN Nikki Haley sent a stern warning to Moscow as renewed fighting in eastern Ukraine intensifies. Her message comes amid a flurry of criticism over the Trump Administration’s policy toward Russia.

Haley used her first appearance at the UN Security Council on Thursday to speak out against Moscow’s alleged role in ongoing fighting in Ukraine, as critics of President Donald Trump accused the new administration of sidling up to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Haley said that it was "unfortunate" that she had to use her first public appearance at the Council to criticize Russia over its "aggressive actions" but warned that escalating violence was endangering thousands of civilians.

"We do want to better our relations with Russia," she said. "However the dire situation in eastern Ukraine is one that demands clear and strong condemnations of Russian actions."

The ambassador’s words in the first appearance come as critics in the US have lashed out over the Trump Administration’s perceived closeness to Moscow.
