UNITED NATIONS — The United Nations Security Council held a minute of silence Friday to mark the first anniversary of the Ukraine war, after Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba accused Russia of genocide against his country.

The homage of silence came only after Russia’s U.N. envoy Vasily Nebenzya insisted the council honor “all of those who perished,” in the conflict.

“All lives are priceless,” he said.
