Ahead of the vote, Ukraine’s ambassador to the United Nations, Sergiy Kyslytsya, said Russia had taken away Ukraine’s right to be present. On the other hand, Russian Ambassador Vasily Alekseevich Nebenzya said that Russia wants to resolve the separatist conflict in eastern Ukraine.
It is pertinent to note that this is the first emergency meeting of the UN General Assembly since 1997. Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned that if World War III broke out, it would be fought with nuclear weapons and would be more destructive. Lavrov, in a recorded video address to a meeting of the UN Human Rights Council, warned that a third world war could break out.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said that Ukraine’s possible use of nuclear weapons could lead to a third world war, adding that a nuclear war would be catastrophic for all. Australia’s announcement concerning the supply of nuclear weapons to Ukraine was followed by Sergei Lavrov, threatening a ‘real threat’.
