She claimed that Washington has seen evidence that Russia plans to deploy 30,000 more troops in Belarus by early February. However, Russia's U.N. Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia said there was "no proof" Russia was planning military action against Ukraine.

The incident took place on Monday during a special open session on this matter at the council. Both the countries accused each other of being "provocative." With this, U.S.-Russia relations have hit a new low.

The United States needed at least nine votes to proceed with the council meeting after Russia called a procedural vote. Ten members voted in favor of the United States. Russia and China voted no. India, Gabon, and Kenya abstained.

According to Reuters, the Security Council conducted meetings dozens of times over the crisis in Ukraine since Russia annexed Crimea in 2014.
