Belarus preparing to join Russian invasion of Ukraine as soon as Monday, U.S. official says
The U.N. Security Council passed a procedural resolution Sunday to call a rare emergency special session of the General Assembly. The 193-member body will meet Monday morning to discuss the Russian invasion.
Ten such emergency special sessions have been convened in the past — including for sessions on Afghanistan in 1980, Congo in 1960 and the Israel-Palestinian conflict in 1997. “Russia vetoed Friday’s resolution, but, as I have said before, Russia cannot veto our voices, Russia cannot veto the Ukrainian people and Russia cannot veto the U.N. Charter. Russia cannot and will not veto accountability,” said Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
