The United States and Ukraine proposed a draft resolution on Security Council , saying that Russia held a ceremony to enter the Russian region in Moscow in four eastern Ukraine, trying to "illegally annex" four Ukraine regions. The move was illegal, with the intention of modifying the Ukrainian border, "threatening international peace and security." It called on all countries not to recognize the referendum statement and demanded that Russia immediately revoke the decision unconditionally. In the end, the resolution was rejected by Russia, with China, Brazil , , Gabon and India abstaining, and the remaining ten countries voted in favor.
U.S. Permanent Ambassador to the United Nations Greenfield claimed that the referendum of Ukraine in four places was a pre-set "scam" in Russia and that "the Ukrainian people were forced to vote by guns." Greenfield also said at the meeting that defending sovereignty and territorial integrity and defending peace in the modern world is in the common interest of all. If these principles are no longer followed, it will have an irreversible impact on our borders, economies and countries. This involves the collective security of all countries and international peace. The Security Council has the obligation and responsibility to prevent Russia's actions.
. Russia’s right or wrong is not convincing, but it is probably not convincing that the United States accuses Russia of “defending sovereignty and defending peace”. Whether on the issues of Kosovo , Afghan , Iraq , Syria or Taiwan, the United States has never truly respected the sovereignty of other countries. The United States’ resolution to condemn Russia in , UN will only allow countries around the world to see the US’s double standards again. The reason why the situation in Ukraine has reached this point is entirely due to the continuous expansion of , NATO , led by the United States. If the United States really wants world stability and peace, it should persuade peace and promote talks, rather than fanning the flames and pushing the situation to escalate.
Russia directly called it a "low-level provocation" for the accusations made by the US. Russia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Nebianjia said that the referendum in the four eastern Ukraine received "overwhelming support" by local residents. People in these areas do not want to return to Ukraine, and they choose to support Russia. However, Western countries have taken blatant hostilities, refusing to communicate and cooperate within the Security Council, and attempting to impose pressure on Russia. Nebianjia said that Russia had no choice but to use its veto power.
After China cast abstention, China's Permanent Ambassador to the United Nations Zhang Jun made an explanatory speech. Zhang Jun said that China's position on the Ukraine issue has always been clear, that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries should be respected, and that all parties should be taken seriously. The Ukrainian crisis has been delayed for more than half a year, and the spillover effect of crisis is becoming more and more serious. China expresses concern about this. The most urgent task is to restart bilateral negotiations, put their respective concerns and needs on the surface, and make every effort to promote the ease and cooling of the situation.
Ambassador Zhang Jun also said that, as the core of the international collective security mechanism, the Security Council should uphold an objective and fair position and play a constructive role in resolving the crisis, rather than intensifying contradictions. Intensify the confrontation. The political isolation of blindly sanctions cannot solve any problem, but will only make the problem more complicated and the situation worsen. As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China has always stood on the side of peace and justice and will continue to play a role in easing the situation and resolving the crisis.
Ukraine's issue has its complexity. Russia cannot be simply identified as the fault party. Russia will not give up on its entry into Russian land, and it will be difficult for Ukraine to give up. If the crisis continues to ferment, it may turn into a real war. Europe has been seriously affected by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. If Russia continues to be forced, EU and NATO may be involved in the war together. By that time, it will not be a good thing for Europe or the United States.
