Zelensky Proposes ‘NATO in Ukraine If…’, Europe Clashes With US In UN Vote On Russian Invasion

Ukrainian president called for “real, lasting peace” this year as European leaders gathered for a summit in Kyiv. Ukraine marked the third anniversary of its conflict with Russia on Feb. 24 by hosting a summit for a slew of European and world leaders. Meanwhile, The United Nations General Assembly voted on Feb. 24 to reaffirm Ukraine’s territorial integrity, adopting a strongly worded resolution condemning Russia’s invasion. The resolution reaffirmed the Assembly’s “commitment to the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of Ukraine.” The resolution won 93 votes in favor as Washington sided with Moscow to join 16 others voting against. In a win for Ukraine, the US failed to get the UNGA to approve a rival resolution seeking to end the war without mentioning Russian aggression. Ukraine’s allies pushed to reword the US text to say that the “full-scale invasion of Ukraine” has been undertaken by Russia. n18oc_world n18oc_crux0:00 INTRODUCTION3:40 UN RESOLUTION BACKS UKRAINE’S TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY 4:52 DEAL THAT ‘SUITS’ RUSSIA7:54 CHINA’S XI AFFIRMS ‘NO LIMITS’ PARTNERSHIP WITH PUTIN9:50 UK IMPOSES NEW SANCTIONS ON RUSSIA
