Russia blocks
Security Council action
on Ukraine
25 February 2022
Peace and Security
Russia vetoed a UN Security Council resolution on Friday that would
have demanded that Moscow immediately stop its aggression against Ukraine and
withdraw all troops, a move several Council members said was deplorable, but
inevitable.
Overcoming challenges
The top UN official outlined the work of
the Organization, from feeding the hungry, vaccinating children and promoting
development to protecting civilians in peacekeeping operations, mediating
conflicts and supporting refugees and migrants, all while “standing,
delivering, extending a lifeline of hope.’”
He stressed that although the UN Charter has been challenged in the past, it has “stood
firm on the side of peace, security, development, justice, international law
and human rights”.
“Time after time, when the
international community has rallied together in solidarity, those values have
prevailed. They will prevail, independently of what happened today,” the UN
chief said.
“We must do everything in our power so
that they prevail in Ukraine but they prevail for all humanity,” concluded the
Secretary-General.

‘Ukrainian chessboard’
Russian Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya said
that he would not respond to those who had accused him of abusing his country's
veto power.
He accused the draft’s sponsors of
“spinning tales” about the true situation in Ukraine, including Western allies’
attempts to cover up the fact that they had been flooding the Donbas with
weapons.
“You have made Ukraine a pawn in your
own game… this resolution is nothing other than yet another brutal, inhumane
move on this Ukrainian chessboard,” he said.
Indeed, the situation is being exploited
by political and media outlets, he said, citing examples of the “height of
propaganda”, including the misuse of images from Donbas to portray what was
being referred to as Russian aggression."
Speaking to the representatives of
France, the UK and US, he said that there was no verifiable confirmation
about the death of Ukrainian civilians; that photographs of supposed Russian
artillery “is fake”; and that reports of attacks on civilian infrastructure
were untrue.
Moreover, with its history of
aggressions against other countries, the United States was “in no position to
moralize.”
