If Kiev does not immediately stop military operations against popular protest, Russia will call for an urgent UNSC meeting and in the worst case scenario reserves the right to deploy armed forces to stop bloodshed, UN envoy Vitaly Churkin said.
If the violence in the southeast of Ukraine doesn't stop, Russia will call a special session of the UN Security Council, Churkin said in an interview to Rossiya 1 channel.
“If we will continue to see what we witnessed today, if the use of force against the protest movement in the east and south-east of Ukraine will continue, we will convene an emergency meeting of the Security Council,” he said, adding though that historically the UNSC was unable to reach a consensus on a number of issues.
Churkin reminded that Russia does not feel isolated at the UN on the Ukrainian crisis. “Even in the Ukrainian situation during a vote on the resolution in the General Assembly, nearly half of UN members refused to support this resolution.”
A look to history may give insight to the future. Here is an interesting series of articles starting in 1992:
30 Killed in Ambush of Refugee Bus in Caucasus
Separatists in Georgia Look to Russia for Protection
Separatist Region in Georgia Votes on Independence
Accounts Undercut Claims By Georgia on Russia War
And, finally, from a German source: Russia Accuses Georgia of Aggression as EU Sends Mediators
Seems we have been here before.
Love that Thug Putin talking point.
Accuse your enemies as being illegitimate which makes it easy to justify invasion !
Gee Hitler used the same smear to justify invading into his neighbors too.
Try another Putin lie.
Do you Putin groupies ever stop lying.
Honest question: Are there any honest brokers of information in the dispute over Ukraine? It appears to me that all of the reporting has either touted or reflected the views, misinformation and disinformation of one side or the other. In this high stakes play between an expanding EU/NATO and a shrunken Russia, what “free press” outlet doesn’t have an agenda?
I’ve been looking and haven’t found one which is sort of surprising given the number of countries that are, in theory, concerned about the situation.
“You are a PAID Putin troll”
LOL!! REALLY?
Have you got my check?? I could use it to buy some gas for the plane. Supposed to be perfect flying weather this weekend.
I’m just a schmuck in an Indiana cornfield, trying to make sense of an important International event, that you obviously have a horse in. If you don’t care for the source, then please, don’t post.
Do you have any comments about the article? Or are you just flaming?
“A monster who oversaw the torture and imprisoned of Germans in Dresden for the KGB”
By the Germans own account, he was a minor functionary that most people never heard of in Germany. He was never mentioned in the EG Regime trials after the fall.
Sorry to burst your bubble on that, but some FACTS might help you understand what’s going on, and WHO it is we are up against. Hysteria doesn’t help anybody.
“Honest question: Are there any honest brokers of information in the dispute over Ukraine?”
None that I have found.
Everyone has an angle to push, it seems. A quick look at Twitter will show that, as events get reported 4 or 5 different ways, even by reporters on the scene. NYTimes reporters tweet updates, that never actually make it on to the New York Times website, for instance.
The US Media is reporting only select events, sometimes DAYS after they happen. Nothing new on MH370, Bieber being detained at LAX, and The Royal Clinton Baby seem to be much more important news to them.
It’s the 21st Century, world-wide communications are almost instantaneous now. Which makes diving the truth that much harder.
I have yet to see someone crying about the Germans bombing, Warsaw, Rotterdam, London, Stalingrad, Leningrad, or Coventry. to say nothing of trying to exterminate the Jewish race, the poles, and Slavs. Germany got off light.
