At a UN human rights meeting on Tuesday, diplomats from around the world walked out of a speech by the Russian foreign minister... to protest the invasion of Ukraine.

Yoon Jung-min reports.
Scores of diplomats at the United Nations in Geneva walk out of a room in protest ... as Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov begins his video speech.
Instead, at the UN Human Rights Council on Tuesday, the diplomats showed their solidarity against Russia's invasion of Ukraine by gathering outside of the room... around the Ukraine's ambassador to the UN who was holding her country's flag.
"So we stay united, here in Geneva, we stay united in New York, everywhere in the world, the world stands behind Ukrainians, they feel it and they will continue to resist, and they will win."
U.S. State Secretary Antony Blinken suggested expelling Russia from its membership to the UN Human Rights Council.
"One can reasonably ask whether a UN member state that tries to take over another UN member state while committing horrific human rights abuses and causing massive humanitarian suffering should be allowed to remain on this council."
At the council, South Korea's Second Vice Foreign Minister Choi Jong-moon said... "the Republic of Korea strongly condemns Russia's aggression", adding it's a clear violation of the UN charter.
He added that South Korea has voted in favor of convening an urgent debate... on the human rights situation in Ukraine.
In New York, South Korea's ambassador to the UN Cho Hyun also voiced criticism of Russia's invasion.
At an emergency special session of the UN General Assembly, Cho added South Korea has joined the resolution demanding that Russian troops withdraw.
