Ukraine Conflict: Earlier in the day, Russia requested that a UN Security Council vote on a resolution it wrote regarding the “humanitarian” situation in Ukraine be postponed once more.
The Kremlin has rejected a decision by the International Court of Justice to suspend its invasion of Ukraine. A Kremlin spokesman said Russia and Ukraine should agree to implement the decision, but “in this case no deal can be reached.” Meanwhile, the United States, Britain, France, Albania, Norway and Ireland have called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council on Thursday over the deteriorating humanitarian situation. in Ukraine, diplomatic sources said. “Russia is committing war crimes and targeting civilians,” Britain’s diplomatic mission to the UN said on its Twitter account on Wednesday.
“Russia’s illegal war against Ukraine is a threat to all of us.” Earlier in the day, Russia again demanded to postpone a UN Security Council vote on a resolution it was drafting on the “humanitarian” situation in Ukraine.
The vote, originally scheduled for Wednesday and then pushed back to Thursday afternoon, must be postponed until Friday morning, unless the project is completely abandoned due to a lack of support from Moscow’s allies.
Talks are also underway to allow Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to address the UN General Assembly, according to other diplomatic sources.
