Pressure ratcheted up on President Vladimir Putin as his decision to send reservists to Ukraine triggered spreading protests and hundreds of arrests at home, and Western leaders tore into the Russian leader at the United Nations.

UNITED NATIONS, United States —

Addressing the assembly later via video — the sole leader allowed to do so — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged the UN to punish Russia for the invasion, calling for a special tribunal and compensation fund and for Moscow to be stripped of its veto. AFP journalists in central Moscow saw at least 50 people detained by police in anti-riot gear, while in the former imperial capital Saint Petersburg, police surrounded and detained a small group of protesters, loading them onto a bus as they chanted, “No mobilization!”

But the diplomatic breakthroughs did little to lower the temperature as Western leaders voiced outrage at Putin’s latest moves — and Moscow’s plan to stage annexation referendums this week in Russian-held regions of Ukraine. Like in 2014, Washington, Berlin and Paris denounced the latest ballots, saying the international community would never recognize the results.In a pre-recorded address early Wednesday, Putin accused the West of trying to “destroy” Russia through its backing of Kyiv as he announced a partial military mobilization.

And British Prime Minister Liz Truss — in her first trip since succeeding Boris Johnson — vowed before the UN to keep up “our military support to Ukraine for as long as it takes”.
