“The defeat did not work out”: Polyansky on voting in the UN Security Council
[ad_1]
The vote in the UN Security Council on the resolution proposed by the United States did not “defeat” Russia, said Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN
Earlier, the United States, with the support of Albania, submitted a draft resolution to the UN Security Council for consideration. The resolution condemned the holding of nationwide referendums in the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. Russia used the right of veto in the voting.
Polyansky noted that the results of voting on the draft resolution of the Western countries “can hardly be written down as an asset.” He noted the position of a number of countries that abstained from voting, such as China, Brazil, India and Gabon. “We did not succumb to pressure and abstained,” Polyansky wrote in his Telegram channel.
According to Polyansky, the “defeat” did not work, and the thesis “about the isolation of Russia sagged.”
On September 30, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed agreements on joining the Russian Federation Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.
