UN Security Council to convene on Friday at Russia's request
|Early Friday morning in Asia, diplomats from the United Nations (UN) confirmed holding a Security Council meeting, on request of Russia, during the day.
The objective was stated as Russia seeks to debate its unsubstantiated claims of US biological activities in Ukraine.
