00:00 The United States accused Russia on Tuesday, February 6 of firing at least nine North Korean
00:09 supplied missiles at Ukraine, while Moscow labelled Washington a direct accomplice in
00:15 the downing of a Russian military transport plane last month.
00:19 Russia's UN Ambassador Vasily Nebensia and Deputy US Ambassador to the UN Robert Wood
00:25 traded the accusations at a UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine requested by Moscow.
00:32 Russia invaded neighbouring Ukraine nearly two years ago.
00:35 During the Security Council meeting, Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood stated that Russia
00:40 has fired DPRK-supplied ballistic missiles at Ukraine on nine separate occasions.
00:47 He emphasised the need for accountability, asserting that both Russia and the DPRK must
00:53 be held responsible for actions that violate long-standing obligations outlined in UN Security
01:00 Council resolutions.
01:02 Both Moscow and Pyongyang have denied the US accusations but vowed last year to deepen
01:08 military relations.
01:10 Russia had stepped up ties with North Korea and other countries hostile to the United
01:15 States such as Iran since the start of the war with Ukraine, relations that are a source
01:20 of concern to the West.
01:22 A Russian Air Force IL-76 fell from the skies on January 24.
01:28 Russia said all 74 people on board, including 65 captured Ukrainian soldiers en route to
01:34 be swapped for Russian prisoners of war were killed and blamed Kiev for downing the plane.
01:40 We have undeniable evidence that a Patriot surface-to-air missile was employed in the
01:46 attack, leaving no question that Washington is also directly implicated in this crime,
01:53 Nebensia declared to the Security Council.
