The Cipher Brief Open Source Report for Tuesday, April 5, 2022

April 5th, 2022

Today’s top story: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is set to address the UN Security Council today for the first time since the Russian invasion. We’ll have updates on what comes out of that tomorrow but his speech is expected to focus on alleged war crimes by Russian forces including the alleged massacres of civilians in areas near Kyiv. He is also likely to push for further deliveries of military hardware and sanctions against Moscow. The speech is expected to be largely a symbolic move since Russia, as a permanent member would veto any specific measures Ukraine may call for.
