An attack, the one in Crimea, that took place on the day that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will take part in the general meetingU.N. in New York, scheduled from 5 p.m. (Italian time). Both were able to leave the room at the time of the other’s speech. Summit that began with Russian protests: UN Ambassador Nebenzia questioned the rotating presidency (Albania) of the UN Security Council, on the basis of which it was decided that Ukrainian President Zelenskyy can address today the member states present at the special session of the UN Security Council, attended by the foreign ministers of the 15 council members, including Russia’s Sergei Lavrov.
During his speech, the Ukrainian President reiterated that the Present from that Russia to the Security Council is “illegitimate“And “the power of veto in the hands of the aggressor has driven the UN into this stalemate.” For Zelensky, “in the case of mass atrocities, the veto should be suspended and the UN General Assembly should have the power to override the veto.” For the Ukrainian leader, it is “impossible to stop the war because all actions have the veto of the aggressor.” After receiving new military support from Joe Biden (who will announce a large aid package in the next few hours), Zelensky also reiterates his support Formula for Peace: a 10-point plan to end the war that reiterates Russia’s withdrawal and the restoration of borders before the 2014 invasion of Crimea as essential conditions. “May peace prevail, may our institutions and our cooperation grow stronger,” he added, urging other nations to support the plan.
Zelensky, the he left the courtroom of the Security Council after his speech, before the speech of Russian Minister Sergei Lavrov, but also before that of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Only the Ukrainian ambassador to the UN attended Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov’s speech in the Security Council. Zelensky and the foreign minister were absent Dmytro Kuleba.
In his speech, Lavrov reiterated the Kremlin’s propaganda that any anti-Russian government in Kiev is nothing more than a US puppet and suggested that the US could “order” Volodymyr Zelensky to negotiate with Moscow because Ukraine, he said Russian minister, nothing is more than a puppet of the USA.
Lavrov then defended Russia’s veto right in the UN Security Council, calling it “legitimate.” In his speech, the head of Russian diplomacy responded to the words of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who asked for Moscow’s right to veto to be withdrawn.
Zelensky has already provoked a reaction from the Polish government after his statements yesterday. In fact, the Warsaw Foreign Ministry summoned Ukrainian Ambassador Vasily Zvarich because of the Ukrainian President’s statements yesterday at the United Nations General Assembly. Sky News reports about it. The Foreign Ministry in Warsaw said it had “violent protest” the Polish side against Zelenskyy’s statements “that some EU countries feigned solidarity by indirectly supporting Russia“. In his speech yesterday, Zelensky said the “political theater” surrounding grain imports – which Poland, Hungary and Slovakia have banned from Ukraine – was only helping Moscow.
