UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Western powers and Russia on Friday used an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council to accuse each other of hypocrisy and double standards in confronting the escalating crisis in Ukraine.

The heated exchange came during another inconclusive meeting of the 15-nation council on the crisis. Russia called for the session to condemn what it described as a "punitive" and "criminal" Ukrainian military operation in the southeastern city of Slaviansk against pro-Russian rebels.
