At the start of this week, Russia's UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia sent a letter to the United Nations detailing the accusations.

Leading Western countries have unanimously rejected and condemned these claims, following strong reactions from Ukrainian politicians and diplomats.

"Russia often accuses others for what they are intending to do themselves."
