See y’all back here tomorrow for the drama of Russia violating the charter (again) when it vetoes a Chapter VI resolution despite being a party to the conflict. The big question: will China, India, and Brazil join Russia in voting no? Abstain? Or (unlikely) vote yes. — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

And with that, without thanking the Ukrainian ambassador, the Russian amb declares that there are no more speakers on the list and adjourns the meeting. — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

Ukraine: “As I said: relinquish your duties as the chair. Call Lavrov. Call Putin. Stop the war. … There is no purgatory for war criminals ambassador. They go straight to hell.” — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

France also condemns Russia’s actions and also notes Putin’s “disdain” for the UNSC. “We call on all members of this council to support” the pending resolution. — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

For those who are wondering why the UN won’t be able to take action against Russia, it’s because the system was designed that way. Stalin remembered all too well the League of Nations expelling the USSR and wouldn’t join the UN if that was possible https://t.co/9qJQzt1680 — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

UK’s ambo: “This is a grave day for Ukraine and for the principles of the United Nations.” This council “must do all it can to stop the war and uphold the charter.” — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

.@USAmbUN says that a resolution will be tabled tomorrow in response to Putin’s “total disdain” for the UN Security Council with his invasion of Ukraine — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

(Russia’s ambo by the way said in response to Ukraine that “he will not wake up Lavrov” and that he has all the information that the rest of the members have. He also said “this is not a war, it is a special operation”) — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

Germany is up, the ambassador condemns Russia’s operation in Ukraine. “Now Russian military is moving into Ukrainian territory. … We urge Russia to end its military action against Ukraine immediately and withdraw its troops” — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

Ukraine during its speech accused the Russian Federation of sneaking into its position since there’s nothing in the UN Charter about successor states. He also called on Russia to turn over the president’s gavel if it can’t uphold the charter. — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

Ukraine’s ambo: it is too late my dear colleagues to talk of de-escalation. It is too late. Shall I play the video? Do not interrupt me. Russia: then do not ask questions, give your speech. — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

Ukraine’s ambassador says that “48 minutes ago, your president declared war on Ukraine.” He calls on the Russian ambo to say on the record now that troops aren’t bombing Ukrainian cities. “You have a smartphone. You can call Lavrov.” — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

Ukraine’s ambassador: before I deliver parts of my speech “most of it is already useless as of 10 pm NY time” let me read from the UN Charter. “3 minutes ago, the Russian ambassador confirmed that his country had declared war on mine” — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

Finally!! Russian ambo: during this meeting, President Putin made an announcement about a special operation in Ukraine. “We don’t know all the details today.” He says that this decision was made under the provisions of Art 51 of the UN Charter — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

Russian ambo: to the West the people of Donbas are simply pawns when to Russia they are men, women and children cowering under Ukrainian assaults. — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

Russia’s ambassador, aka the president of the UNSC this month, is up. And in a truly baffling situation, he ALSO is not referencing Putin’s announcement so far. He -does- lament that there’s been no condolences today towards the Russian speakers suffering in E Ukraine https://t.co/bYfveZixan — PolitiTweet.org
