Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Wednesday defended this country's use of veto power at the UN Security Council as a "legitimate tool" of international relations.
Addressing the Security Council shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for stripping Russia of its veto power, Lavrov said: "The use of veto is an absolutely legitimate tool laid out in the (UN) Charter."
