New Delhi: United States, Britain, France, Albania, Norway and Ireland have asked the UN emergency security council meeting on Thursday because of the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Ukraine, diplomatic sources said.
“Russia commits war crimes and targets civilians,” England’s diplomatic mission to the United Nations said on Wednesday on his Twitter account. “Russian illegal war in Ukraine is a threat to all of us.”
Previously on that day, Russia asked again to postpone the Voting of the UN Security Council on the resolution compiled about the “humanitarian” situation in Ukraine.
Voting, first scheduled for Wednesday and then pushed to Thursday afternoon, must be set for Friday morning – unless the draft dropped at all due to lack of support from Moscow allies.
The discussion was also ongoing, according to other diplomatic sources, to allow Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to speak to the UN General Assembly.
France and Mexico, who compiled a resolution calling for “cessation of hostility” in Ukraine, has given up presenting their text to the Security Council, where Russia – which holds a revolving presidency for March – can veto.
They instead presented it to the General Assembly, where there was no country that could block the text.
