Russia Ukraine War LIVE: Moscow Adamant on Not Joining Black Sea Grain Deal Despite UN Call

The U.N. Security Council will hold back to back meetings on Ukraine. The first meeting requested by Russia to discuss accusations of Ukrainian persecution of followers of the Moscow-linked Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC).

Ukraine has accused the UOC of maintaining links to the pro-invasion Russian Orthodox Church, which used to be its parent church but with which the UOC says it broke ties in May last year following the Russian invasion.

The second meeting is requested by Ukraine to discuss recent Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure and ports that also severely damaged an Orthodox cathedral in the Odesa city centre, a UNESCO world heritage site.
