Six nations on Wednesday requested a meeting of the UN Security Council on the situation in Ukraine.
They include the UK, Albania, France, Ireland, Norway and the US.
"Russia is committing war crimes and targeting civilians. Russia’s illegal war on Ukraine is a threat to us all," the UK's permanent mission to the UN said on Twitter.
The request came as Russia’s war on Ukraine entered its third week.
