The U.S. told an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council Thursday that Russia has "outright lied" over its military activity in Ukraine, where Russian-backed separatists have been fighting the Ukrainian armed forces.

"Russian soldiers, tanks and air defense have supported and fight alongside separatists as they open a new front in a crisis manufactured and fueled by Russia," Samantha Power, U.S. ambassador to the U.N. told the council.

Power noted that it was not the first time that Russia has been called to account by the council for its activities inside Ukraine.
