Albania, France, Ireland, Norway, UK, and US on Russia and Ukraine - Security Council Media Stakeout

The United Nations of Earth reporting on this issue: "Albania, France, Ireland, Norway, UK, and US on Russia and Ukraine - Security Council Media Stakeout"
The topics: Joint statement by Albania, France, Ireland, Norway, the UK, and the US on Russia and Ukraine, delivered by Linda Thomas-Greenfield, Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations. In a joint statement delivered by US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, countries called on Russia to “speak the truth. And to ensure their lies and disinformation are met with fact,” adding that “Russia is abusing its responsibilities and privileges as a permanent member of the Security Council.” US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield read the statement today (18 Mar) in New York, on behalf of Albania, France, Ireland, Norway, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Ambassador Greenfiled said, “Russia is once again attempting to use this Council to launder its disinformation, spread its propaganda, and justify its unprovoked and brutal attack on Ukraine. We know this because it’s a well-worn playbook.” She continued, “just one week ago, they convened the Council under precisely the same pretenses, and we heard a litany of bombastic and preposterous lies,” adding that “This meeting, and these lies, are designed for one purpose, and one purpose only: to deflect responsibility for Russia’s war of choice and the humanitarian catastrophe it has caused.” Greenfield also said, “as you all know – and as we must remind the public – it is Moscow that has long maintained a biological weapons program in violation of international law – not Ukraine. It is Moscow that has a well-documented history of using chemical weapons – not Ukraine. And it is Moscow that started this senseless war.” She also said, “Our mandate is to serve as a venue for achieving peace through diplomacy. Russia’s subversion of our mission, and its horrific campaign of violence against the Ukrainian people, are deeply shameful.” “We will continue to ensure their tactics are met with a forceful chorus of voices from across the international community prepared to stand with Ukraine and stand up for the UN Charter,” Greenfield read.
