Russian Ambassador to the UN: The American resolution is the first step towards peace
The US resolution on the war in Ukraine is the first constructive step towards peace, Russia's UN ambassador Vasily Nebenzya said on Monday during a Security Council debate, accusing Europe of torpedoing efforts at peace.
The Security Council adopted an American resolution calling for the early conclusion of a lasting peace, but saying nothing about Russian aggression.
The Russian ambassador praised the US initiative to refer to Russia’s aggression as a “Russian-Ukrainian war,” saying it was “the Council’s first attempt to adopt a constructive and future-oriented document that would speak about the path to peace, not about deepening the conflict,” while accusing Europe of trying to sabotage the Russian-American talks.
“A militarizing Europe is the only international player that wants to continue the war and risks opposing any realistic initiative to resolve the conflict,” Niebienzia said.
"We appeal to all who sincerely desire lasting peace in Ukraine not to allow the overenthusiastic Kiev prince and his puppeteers to undermine the efforts of Russia and the United States," he added.
The Russian diplomat’s speech was a rare moment in which Russian and U.S. officials largely aligned. U.S. Rep. Dorothy Camille Shea also said the resolution was “a path to peace.”
“This is a first step, but a crucial one that we should all be proud of,” she said.
China, which also voted for the American resolution, supported the "US-Russian agreement to start peace talks" but stressed that the talks should involve all stakeholders and the peace should be just.
"China expects all sides to engage in peace talks in a timely manner to find a fair and lasting solution that takes into account the concerns of each side and achieves a binding peace agreement acceptable to all," the Chinese ambassador said.
The most critical of the American resolution were five European countries (Great Britain, France, Greece, Slovenia and Denmark) which abstained from voting. Regret over the rejection of the European amendments – calling the Russian war an invasion and demanding a just peace and respect for the territorial integrity of Ukraine – was also expressed by South Korea, among others, although it ultimately voted for the American document.
“While we are fully committed to peace in Ukraine, we call for a comprehensive, just and lasting peace and certainly not the capitulation of the victim,” French diplomat de Riviere said, explaining the lack of support for the American resolution not to name the aggressor in the conflict.
“There can be no equivalent approach between Russia and Ukraine regarding this war,” he said.
His position was also supported by representatives of Great Britain, Slovenia and Denmark.
"We remind the Council that Russia could achieve peace as early as tomorrow by ceasing its aggression and withdrawing its forces from all of Ukraine," said British Ambassador Barbara Woodward.
Ten of the 15 countries voted in favour of the resolution, while five more – all European countries – abstained.
The resolution is a short text that expressed only regret over the "tragic loss of life in the conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine," does not condemn the Russian invasion and reiterates that the main purpose of the UN is to maintain international peace and security and the peaceful resolution of disputes. It contains only three paragraphs calling for a lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine and a speedy end to the conflict.
Earlier, the same American draft resolution was amended at the request of European countries, passing the same amendments that the US vetoed during Monday's Security Council meeting. The General Assembly also adopted a Ukrainian resolution condemning the aggression and calling on Russia to withdraw its troops.

The American resolution on the war in Ukraine is the first constructive step towards the room - said on Monday the Russian ambassador at the UN Wasilij Błownzia during the debate in the Security Council.
The Security Council adopted an American resolution calling for the early conclusion of a lasting peace, but saying nothing about Russian aggression.
The Russian ambassador praised the US initiative about the aggression of Russia as the "Russian-Ukrainian War", claiming that this is "the first attempt to accept the constructive and future-oriented document, which will talk about the way to peace, and not about deepening the conflict."
"The currently militarizing Europe is the only player in the international arena who wants to continue the war and risk opposing any realistic initiative to resolve the conflict," said Błownzia.
"We appeal to everyone who honestly wants a lasting peace in Ukraine not to let the enthusiastic Kiev prince and his puppets to destroy the efforts made by Russia and the United States," he added.
The speech of a Russian diplomat was a very rare moment when representatives of Russia and the USA presented largely compatible positions.
"This is the first step, but the key, which we should all be proud of," she said.
China, who also voted for the American resolution, supported the "US and Russia agreement on the start of peace conversations", but pointed out that everyone interested should be involved in conversations, and peace should be fair.
"China expects all parties to take part in peace conversations in the right time to find a fair and lasting solution that will take into account the fears of each party and achieve a binding peace agreement acceptable to everyone," said the Chinese ambassador.
The most critical of the American resolution was five European countries (Great Britain, France, Greece, Slovenia and Denmark) that stopped from the vote.
"While we are fully devoted to peace in Ukraine, we call for a versatile, fair and lasting peace, and certainly not for the capitulation of the victim," said French diplomat de Riviere, justifying the lack of support for the American resolution not indicating the aggressor in conflict.
"There can be no equivalent approach between Russia and Ukraine in relation to this war," he said.
His position was also supported by representatives of Great Britain, Slovenia and Denmark.
"We remind the council that Russia could achieve peace tomorrow, stopping aggression and withdrawing its forces from all over Ukraine," noted the Ambassador of Great Britain Barbara Woodward.
10 out of 15 countries voted for the resolution, while five more - all European countries - abstained.
The resolution is a short text that expressed only regret because of the "tragic loss of life in the conflict of the Russian Federation with Ukraine", does not contain the condemnation of Russian invasion and repeats that the main goal of the UN is to maintain international peace and security and peaceful dispute resolution.

The American resolution on the war in Ukraine is the first constructive step towards the room - said on Monday the Russian ambassador at the UN Wasilij Błownzia during the debate in the Security Council.
The Security Council adopted an American resolution calling for the early conclusion of a lasting peace, but saying nothing about Russian aggression.
The Russian ambassador praised the US initiative about the aggression of Russia as the "Russian-Ukrainian War", claiming that this is "the first attempt to accept the constructive and future-oriented document, which will talk about the way to peace, and not about deepening the conflict."
"The currently militarizing Europe is the only player in the international arena who wants to continue the war and risk opposing any realistic initiative to resolve the conflict," said Błownzia.
"We appeal to everyone who honestly wants a lasting peace in Ukraine not to let the enthusiastic Kiev prince and his puppets to destroy the efforts made by Russia and the United States," he added.
The speech of a Russian diplomat was a very rare moment when representatives of Russia and the USA presented largely compatible positions.
"This is the first step, but the key, which we should all be proud of," she said.
China, who also voted for the American resolution, supported the "US and Russia agreement on the start of peace conversations", but pointed out that everyone interested should be involved in conversations, and peace should be fair.
"China expects all parties to take part in peace conversations in the right time to find a fair and lasting solution that will take into account the fears of each party and achieve a binding peace agreement acceptable to everyone," said the Chinese ambassador.
The most critical of the American resolution was five European countries (Great Britain, France, Greece, Slovenia and Denmark) that stopped from the vote.
"While we are fully devoted to peace in Ukraine, we call for a versatile, fair and lasting peace, and certainly not for the capitulation of the victim," said French diplomat de Riviere, justifying the lack of support for the American resolution not indicating the aggressor in conflict.
"There can be no equivalent approach between Russia and Ukraine in relation to this war," he said.
His position was also supported by representatives of Great Britain, Slovenia and Denmark.
"We remind the council that Russia could achieve peace tomorrow, stopping aggression and withdrawing its forces from all over Ukraine," noted the Ambassador of Great Britain Barbara Woodward.
10 out of 15 countries voted for the resolution, while five more - all European countries - abstained.
The resolution is a short text that expressed only regret because of the "tragic loss of life in the conflict of the Russian Federation with Ukraine", does not contain the condemnation of Russian invasion and repeats that the main goal of the UN is to maintain international peace and security and peaceful dispute resolution.
Earlier, the same American draft resolution was amended at the request of European countries, passing the same amendments that the US vetoed during Monday's Security Council meeting. The General Assembly also adopted a Ukrainian resolution condemning the aggression and calling on Russia to withdraw its troops.

The Russian ambassador praised the US initiative about the aggression of Russia as the "Russian-Ukrainian War", claiming that this is "the first attempt to accept the constructive and future-oriented document, which will talk about the way to peace, and not about deepening the conflict."
"The currently militarizing Europe is the only player in the international arena who wants to continue the war and risk opposing any realistic initiative to resolve the conflict," said Błownzia.
"We appeal to everyone who honestly wants a lasting peace in Ukraine not to let the enthusiastic Kiev prince and his puppets to destroy the efforts made by Russia and the United States," he added.
Wystąpienie rosyjskiego dyplomaty było bardzo rzadko spotykanym dotąd momentem, w którym przedstawiciele Rosji i USA prezentowali w znacznej mierze zgodne stanowiska. Reprezentantka USA Dorothy Camille Shea również stwierdziła, że rezolucja stanowi „ścieżkę do pokoju”.
"This is the first step, but the key, which we should all be proud of," she said.
China, who also voted for the American resolution, supported the "US and Russia agreement on the start of peace conversations", but pointed out that everyone interested should be involved in conversations, and peace should be fair.
"China expects all parties to take part in peace conversations in the right time to find a fair and lasting solution that will take into account the fears of each party and achieve a binding peace agreement acceptable to everyone," said the Chinese ambassador.
Najbardziej krytyczne wobec amerykańskiej rezolucji było pięć państw europejskich (Wielka Brytania, Francja, Grecja, Słowenia i Dania) które wstrzymały się od głosu. Żal z powodu odrzucenia europejskich poprawek – nazywających wojnę rosyjską inwazją i żądających sprawiedliwego pokoju i poszanowania integralności terytorialnej Ukrainy – wyraziła też m.in. Korea Południowa, choć ostatecznie zagłosowała za amerykańskim dokumentem.
"While we are fully devoted to peace in Ukraine, we call for a versatile, fair and lasting peace, and certainly not for the capitulation of the victim," said French diplomat de Riviere, justifying the lack of support for the American resolution not indicating the aggressor in conflict.
"There can be no equivalent approach between Russia and Ukraine in relation to this war," he said.
His position was also supported by representatives of Great Britain, Slovenia and Denmark.
"We remind the council that Russia could achieve peace tomorrow, stopping aggression and withdrawing its forces from all over Ukraine," noted the Ambassador of Great Britain Barbara Woodward.
Za rezolucją zagłosowało 10 z 15 państw, podczas gdy pięć kolejnych – wszystkie państwa europejskie – wstrzymały się od głosu.
Rezolucja to krótki tekst, który wyrażał jedynie żal z powodu „tragicznej utraty życia w konflikcie Federacji Rosyjskiej z Ukrainą”, nie zawiera potępienia rosyjskiej inwazji i powtarza, że głównym celem ONZ jest utrzymanie międzynarodowego pokoju i bezpieczeństwa oraz pokojowe rozwiązywanie sporów. Zawiera tylko trzy akapity, wzywając do trwałego pokoju między Rosją a Ukrainą i do szybkiego zakończenie konfliktu.
Earlier, the same American draft resolution was amended at the request of European countries, passing the same amendments that the US vetoed during Monday's Security Council meeting. The General Assembly also adopted a Ukrainian resolution condemning the aggression and calling on Russia to withdraw its troops.

Amerykańska rezolucja nt. wojny w Ukrainie jest pierwszym konstruktywnym krokiem ku pokojowi – powiedział w poniedziałek ambasador Rosji przy ONZ Wasilij Niebienzia podczas debaty w Radzie Bezpieczeństwa. Oskarżył przy tym Europę o torpedowanie starań o pokój.
The Security Council adopted an American resolution calling for the early conclusion of a lasting peace, but saying nothing about Russian aggression.
Rosyjski ambasador chwalił inicjatywę USA mówiącą o agresji Rosji jako „wojnie rosyjsko-ukraińskiej”, twierdząc, że jest to „pierwsza próba Rady, by przyjąć konstruktywny i zorientowany na przyszłość dokument, który będzie mówił o drodze do pokoju, a nie o pogłębianiu konfliktu”. Oskarżył przy tym Europę o próby sabotażu rosyjsko-amerykańskich rozmów.
"The currently militarizing Europe is the only player in the international arena who wants to continue the war and risk opposing any realistic initiative to resolve the conflict," said Błownzia.
"We appeal to everyone who honestly wants a lasting peace in Ukraine not to let the enthusiastic Kiev prince and his puppets to destroy the efforts made by Russia and the United States," he added.
