US President Joe Biden has told the UN general assembly that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a shameless violation of the core tenets of the UN charter.
Mr Biden urged the world to see Russia’s "outrageous acts for what they are" and said no-one sought conflict apart from Moscow.
His words came just hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced military reservists are to be sent to Ukraine as part of a partial mobilisation of Russian forces.
President Putin accused the West of "nuclear blackmail" and said a threat to retaliate was "not a bluff".
