(Reuters) – Russia accuses Canada of annotating a request for support from the United Nations regarding its draft resolution on aid access to Ukraine. Ottawa reacted with sharp comments.

A Twitter spat (NYSE:) saw Canada’s UN mission add multiple comments to Vassily Nebenzia’s March 16 U.N. Ambassador missive.

On Friday, the U.N. Security Council won’t vote on the resolution draft.

Diplomats claimed it would fail with the majority of 15-member council members likely to vote against it due to its inability to address accountability, acknowledge Russia’s invasion and push for an end of fighting or the withdrawal of Russian troops.

Canada’s UN mission noted one section of the Russian correspondence in the Twitter spat. It read, “Like others members of international community, it is gravely concerning its deterioration.”

Canada’s UN mission omitted the first words, changed the rest and added: “We aren’t gravely concerned about it deterioration,” with the addition at the end that “We are the primary reason.”

Canada later asked the question: “Do you believe that UN members actually believe this?” Canada offered an alternate end on the last page: “We want to show you just how much we care about human lives we’ve destroyed.”

Dmitry Polyanskiy was the first permanent deputy representative from Russia to United Nations.

“Thanks @CanadaONU, for the kindergarten-level Russophobic Libel!” Twitter, he posted the following.

“It only shows that your diplomatic skills and good manners are at lowest ebb and gives an idea why your country’s bid for a non-permanent seat in #SecurityCouncil was voted down twice in 20yrs by UN membership,” Polyanskiy said, adding a thumbs-down emoji.

Since the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine, relations between Russia and many Western countries continue to fall to new lows.

Russian President Vladimir Putin claims he’s engaged in “special military operations.”
