Russia used its annual appearance at the U.N. General Assembly on Saturday to accuse the United States and its Western allies of bossing the world around, complaining they were attempting to dictate to everyone "what is good and evil." The speech, by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to the 193-nation assembly, was the latest example of the deteriorating relations between Moscow and Western powers, which have imposed sanctions on Russia over the conflict in neighboring Ukraine. Lavrov said, "The U.S.-led Western alliance that portrays itself as a champion of democracy, rule of law, and human rights within individual countries is rejecting the democratic principle of sovereign equality of states enshrined in the U.N." http://bit.ly/1rBNaa6 http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
