New York: Russia and America have a face-off in the United Nations Security Council over Ukraine. Where Moscow failed to succeed in an attempt to block an open meeting over military deployments near Ukraine's borders and fears of attack by Western nations
Voting in the meeting
US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield has dismissed Russian ambassador Vasily Nebenzia's allegation that Washington is trying to use diplomacy by calling a Security Council meeting on the crisis. Thomas Greenfield said that imagine how uncomfortable you would be if you had 100,000 soldiers on your border. The vote passed 10-2 when an open meeting was held. Russia and China protested and three members did not participate in the vote. 9 votes were needed to approve the vote.
Joe Biden also issued a statement
At the same time, US President Joe Biden said in a statement that the meeting was an important step in rejecting the use of force, reducing military tension, supporting diplomacy and demanding accountability from each member. He said that countries should avoid military aggression against their neighbours. Russia denied that it intended to attack, but demanded that Russia not join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). NATO and the US have called these demands impossible.
