Latvia initiated an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council following Russia’s horrific and brutal attacks on peaceful Ukrainians. This was stated by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, reports UNN.
Deeply grateful to Latvia and my dear friend and colleague Baiba Braže for initiating an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council following Russia’s horrific and brutal attacks on peaceful Ukrainians. While Russia is illegally using the permanent seat on the Security Council that belonged to the USSR to evade accountability, Latvia — during its first-ever presidency — is demanding that it be held accountable. This is an example of principled leadership in action
According to him, Russia must face real accountability for its crimes.
We expect the Security Council to become a platform where Russian atrocities will not merely be discussed, but actively opposed. Thank you, Latvia, for your courage, solidarity, and determination to defend the UN Charter at a time when its fundamental principles are under attack
We would like to remind you
