US Ambassador to the United Nations (UN) Linda Thomas-Greenfield said at a meeting of the Security Council that the country will seek condemnation of Russia's special operation in the Donbass at the UN General Assembly (GA), RIA Novosti reports.
Thomas-Greenfield made this statement after Russia vetoed a draft resolution in the Security Council. She promised to submit the document to the UN General Assembly. “We will resolve this issue in the UN General Assembly, where the Russian veto will not work,” she stressed.
The US Ambassador to the UN added that Russia could veto the resolution, but it would not be able to “veto our votes, the truth, our principles, the Ukrainian people, the UN Charter.” In addition, this does not apply to the country's personal responsibility.
“We will continue to stand side by side with Ukraine, providing all the support we can. This vote shows which states support the principles of the UN and which do not, who supports the UN charter and who does not,” concluded Thomas-Greenfield.
