The vote in the UN Security Council on the resolution proposed by the United States did not “defeat” Russia, said the first deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Dmitry Polyansky
Earlier, the United States, with the support of Albania, submitted a draft resolution to the UN Security Council for consideration. The resolution condemned the holding of national referendums in the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. Russia used the right of veto in the voting.
Polyansky noted that the results of the vote on the draft resolution of the Western countries “can hardly be recorded as an asset.” He noted the position of a number of countries that abstained from voting, for example, China, Brazil, India and Gabon. “They did not succumb to pressure and abstained,” Polyansky wrote in his Telegram channel.
According to Polyansky, the “defeat” did not work out, and the thesis “on the isolation of Russia has sagged.”
On September 30, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed agreements on the accession of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions to the Russian Federation.
