The note, signed by Bathsheba Nell Crocker, the US ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, warned that Russia's invasion of Ukraine could lead to abuses such as kidnappings or torture and target political dissidents, religious and ethnic minorities.

The United States and Western allies have estimated that more than 150,000 troops have been stationed near Ukraine's borders in recent weeks. Moscow denies planning to attack its neighbor, but wants assurances that it will never join NATO and that the Western alliance will withdraw its forces from Eastern Europe - demands that the West refuses to comply with.
