UNITED NATIONS — Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused the United States of “playing with fire” around Taiwan in a speech sharply critical of Washington at the annual gathering at the United Nations.

The United States has imposed several rounds of sanctions on Moscow following the February invasion of Ukraine.
