The Security Council of the United Nations (UN) will meet this Friday, February 25, to vote on a draft resolution that the United States has prepared to condemn Russia’s attack on Ukraine, launched on Wednesday night and continued throughout the day on Thursday.
A senior US official explained today that the resolution has been distributed by the US ambassador, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, among the members of the Council and among its allies inside and outside the Council, such as Japan, Australia and the European Union.
The source acknowledged that, since Russia has the right to veto as a permanent member of the Council, it is practically impossible for the resolution to go ahead, so the United States and its allies will take the case to the General Assembly, where there are no vetoes (but no voting either). binding).
It so happens that the Security Council this month is chaired by Russia, which has not prevented it from devoting four meetings to the Ukrainian issue in recent days, two of them at night and urgently.
While the Council was meeting last night, the russian president, Vladimir Putin gave the order to launch what he called “a special military operation” in Ukraine, with the justification that it intended to pacify the eastern regions of the country where pro-Russian separatists and the Kiev government have been clashing since 2014.
The fighting has already cost the lives of 40 Ukrainian soldiers, has destroyed 74 Ukrainian military installations and has caused the displacement of thousands of people fleeing to western Ukraine or to the neighboring countries of Hungary and Moldova. (I)
