Trump ''not stopping me from beating up on Russia,'' - US ambassador to UN Haley

U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said Saturday that President Donald Trump has not stopped her from "beating up on Russia."

Censor.NET reports citing The Hill.

"The president has not once called me and said, 'Don't beat up on Russia,' has not once called me told me what to say," Haley said in an interview on ABC.

On Saturday, Trump called on NBC News to "stop with the Fake Trump/Russia story" and focus more on his unproven claims that former President Barack Obama spied on him.

"It is the same Fake News Media that said there is 'no path to victory for Trump' that is now pushing the phony Russia story. A total scam!" Trump tweeted.

Haley has often taken an adversarial approach to Russia in her post at the U.N., particularly over the country's 2014 annexation of Crimea and renewed fighting in Ukraine.

In early February, Haley condemned Russia's geopolitical maneuvers in Eastern Ukraine, asserting that Moscow's behavior "demands clear and strong condemnation."

Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Sunday 2 April. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Russia Accuses NATO Of 'Slander' As U.S. Denounces 'Russian Aggression'

Russia Accuses NATO Of 'Slander' As U.S. Denounces 'Russian Aggression'

Russia has accused the United States and its allies of "slander" as the U.S. top diplomat and Pentagon chief denounced Russia’s actions in Ukraine and elsewhere.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told his counterparts at NATO on March 31 that the United States was committed to Ukraine's territorial integrity and that U.S. sanctions against Russia will remain in place "until Moscow reverses the actions that triggered our sanctions."

Western nations imposed the sanctions for Russia's illegal 2014 annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea region and for its support for separatist fighters in eastern Ukraine.

"We do not and will not accept Russian efforts to change the borders of the territory of Ukraine," said Tillerson.

The secretary of state added that Washington "will continue to hold Russia accountable to its Minsk commitments," referring to the Minsk process to resolve the Ukraine crisis.

Tillerson was attending his first meeting of NATO foreign ministers amid worries about U.S. President Donald Trump's stated desire for closer relations with Moscow.

He told Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin, who was also at the meeting, that American and NATO support for Ukraine remained "steadfast" after "Russia's aggression against Ukraine."

Russia responded by accusing NATO of spreading "the myth of a 'Russian threat'" and "the slander of 'Russian aggression'" as a way to unify its members.

"The U.S. and its allies are obsessed with building up their military presence on our borders, justifying it with the need to 'restrain Russia'," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Also on March 31, U.S. Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis told reporters in London that "Russian's violations of international law are now a matter of record -- from what happened with Crimea to other aspects of their behavior in mucking around inside other peoples' elections.”

Mattis was likely referring to Russia’s alleged meddling during the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

The U.S. secretary of defense also expressed concern over Russia's activities in Afghanistan and its interaction with the Taliban militant group.

"We have seen Russian activity vis-a-vis the Taliban," Mattis said. "I am not willing to say at this point if that is manifested into weapons and that sort of thing, but, certainly, what they are up to there in light of their other activities gives us concern."

The comments came after U.S. General Curtis Scaparrotti, NATO's supreme allied commander in Europe, told a U.S. Senate committee on March 23 that he had seen evidence of increasing Russian efforts to influence the Taliban "and perhaps even to supply" the militant group.
