10 out of 15 countries of the Security Council voted for the resolution UNwhile five more – all representing countries Europe – he abstained.
– while we are fully devoted to the peace on Ukraine, We call for a versatile, fair and lasting peace, and certainly not for the capitulation of the victim. There can be no equivalent approach between Russia And Ukraine in relation to this war – explained the lack of support for the resolution French Ambassador Nicolas de Riviere.
War in Ukraine. UN Security Council “for” American resolution
The American resolution is a short text that only expresses regret because of “tragic loss of life in the conflict of the Russian Federation with Ukraine”does not contain the condemnation of Russian invasion and repeats that the main goal of the UN is to maintain international peace and security and peaceful resolution of disputes. It contains only three paragraphs, calling for lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine and to quickly end the conflict.
The temporary US representative at the UN Dorothy Camille Shea claimed that the resolution is not a “peace agreement”, but “The path leading to the room”.
Russia at the same time vetoed European amendments changing the “Russian-Ukrainian war” to “A full -law invasion of the Russian Federation to Ukraine“, and also expressed support for the territorial integrity of Ukraine and just peace. These amendments were lost, despite the fact that one of them obtained the support of 11 out of 15 countries.
USA and Russia voted in hand
Russian ambassador Vasily Błownzia praised the American initiative – using often used by Donald Trump words – as “common sense proposal” and a step in the right direction. He also reported amendments to ensure that the text of the resolution took into account “the need to eliminate the basic causes of the conflict”. Russian corrections were rejected because only Russia voted for them.
It is The first resolution adopted by the Security Council on Ukraine From the beginning of the Russian full -scale invasion.
Earlier, the UN General Assembly made other decisions regarding resolutions voted on the day of the third anniversary of the Russian land invasion of Ukraine.
The American idea was supplemented with European corrections and voted, but the Americans themselves in this situation – not wanting to sign under the name of Russia's aggressor – they abstained. At the same time, the resolution created by Ukraine and its European allies gained the support of the General Assembly. In her case, the USA, together, among others with Russia and Belarusvoted against her.
