LOS ANGELES - Russia accused Canada on Thursday of childishly annotating a letter it sent at the United Nations seeking support for its, which Ottawa reacted to with pointed comments.

In a spat on Twitter, Canada's UN mission added multiple remarks to the March 16 missive from Russia's UN ambassador Vassily Nebenzia.Diplomats said it would have failed with most of the 15-member council likely to abstain from a vote on it because it did not address accountability or acknowledge Russia's invasion of Ukraine or push for an end to the fighting or a withdrawal of Russian troops.

Canada's UN mission crossed out the first few words and changed the rest to read:"We are not gravely concerned about its deterioration," and inserted at the end"because we are the primary cause."On the final page Canada suggested part of an alternative end:"We want you to know just how little we care about the human life we have destroyed."
