Zelensky claims that Moscow is using the UN to "spread its lies."

 According to the White House, global sanctions have impacted negatively on Russia's financial system, which is now "on the verge of collapsing." Inflation, according to the White House, will cause Russia's financial downfall.


Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, said the timing of Russia defaulting on its loans is entirely dependent on Vladimir Putin's response to the sanctions put on the country.


While no specific date was mentioned for when this would happen, the White House did say that it was becoming "more and more harder for President Putin to fund this war every single day."


This comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on the United Nations to hold Nuremberg-style trials to punish Russia for the war crimes perpetrated by its troops.

Mr Zelensky told members of the UN Security Council that Russian forces' acts were "no different from terrorists," and that women had been raped by Russian troops in front of their children.
