The UN Security Council will meet on January 31 at the initiative of the United States to discuss “Russian threatening behavior” directed against Ukraine. About it on Twitter reported American representation in the organization.
“More than 100 thousand Russian troops are deployed on the border with Ukraine, Russia is also involved in other destabilizing actions directed against Ukraine, which creates a clear threat to international peace, security and the UN Charter,” says US Representative to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield.
Thomas-Greenfield also said that Washington is using diplomacy to de-escalate in the current crisis over Ukraine, which is a “serious threat to European and global peace.” The UN Security Council is the most important forum for diplomacy, she said.
The US representative to the UN urged members of the Security Council to carefully study what is happening and consider “what is at stake for Ukraine, Russia and Europe.” “Now is not the time to wait and watch,” the diplomat stressed.
