US Permanent Representative to the UN: Russia's actions threaten the world order
Russia is undertaking aggressive and destabilizing actions that threaten the world order, as stated by the U.S. Permanent Representative to the UN, Samantha Power, Reuters reported.
"Russia's actions do not support the international order. They undermine the one that already exists," she said.
In her speech, Power referred to the "Russian intervention" in the conflict in southeastern Ukraine, Russia’s support of the government in the civil war in Syria, and "attempts to influence elections in Western democracies."
Samantha Power has served as the U.S. ambassador to the UN since 2013. She will leave her post after the inauguration of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. It has been reported that Trump has offered this post to the Governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley.
