The United Nations Security Council will vote on Friday on a draft resolution that would condemn Russia for invading Ukraine and require Moscow to immediately and unconditionally withdraw, but the measure is set to fail because Moscow can cast a veto.

The US-drafted resolution is then expected to be taken up by the 193-member UN General Assembly within days, a senior US administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said earlier on Thursday.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke with his counterparts in India and the UAE about Ukraine on Thursday, the State Department said. The text also reaffirms the council’s “commitment to the sovereignty, independence, unity, and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognised borders.”

“We’re not going to abandon our principles. We’re not going to stand by and do nothing.” Russia is one of the Council veto powers, along with the United States, China, France and Britain.

They're going to vote but you already know the results?

Now we are seeing how these veto powers are not good for global security and peace in general. They don’t make sense…..
