UNSC Fails to Agree on Statement on Mariupol Attack in East Ukraine

The UN Security Council could not agree on a press statement following an attack on the city of Mariupol in south-eastern Ukraine, which killed at least 30 civilians, the Russian Mission to the United Nations has announced.

"Throughout the day of January 24 we were discussing a possible UN Security Council reaction to the events in Mariupol, which caused civilian casualties. The consensus has not been reached though because the delegation of the United Kingdom insisted on condemnation of some of the self-defense forces' statements," the Russian Mission said in a statement Saturday.

  • In contrast, since the very start of the Ukrainian conflict, Western members of the UN Security Council have consistently refused to condemn "any statements and actions (often very aggressive) made by the Kiev authorities", the Russian Mission to the United Nations stressed.
Earlier on Saturday, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon condemned the attack on residential areas in Mariupol, saying that it was likely a violation of international humanitarian law........http://sputniknews.com/politics/20150125/1017314713.html

  2. Kerry macht ukrainische Volkswehr für Beschuss von Mariupol verantwortlich ...

    US-Außenminister John Kerry hat die ukrainische Volkswehr des Angriffs auf die Stadt Mariupol beschuldigt.

    Wie Kerry am Samstag in Zürich sagte, „ist es verurteilungswürdig, dass die Separatisten diesen und andere Angriffe öffentlich glorifizieren und dabei die von ihnen unterzeichneten Minsker Vereinbarungen offenbar verletzen“.

    Der US-Außenminister forderte Russland auf, unverzüglich die Unterstützung der Volkswehrmilizen im Donbass einzustellen. Er drohte, andernrfalls „den US-amerikanischen und den internationalen Druck auf Russland und seine Anhänger zu verstärken“.

    Moskau hat wiederholt erklärt, dass es an dem innerukrainischen Konflikt nicht beteiligt ist und mit den Ereignissen im Südosten der Ukraine absolut nichts zu tun hat und nur daran interessiert ist, dass die Ukraine ihre politische und wirtschaftliche Krise überwindet......................http://de.sputniknews.com/politik/20150125/300780454.html

  3. UN Security Council may hold new meeting on Ukraine Monday - diplomat...

    The UN Security Council will most likely meet again on Monday to discuss the situation in Ukraine that continues to aggravate, a diplomat of a Western member state of the Security Council told TASS on Saturday.

    She also said that the Security Council continued the discussion of the draft statement on the shelling of Ukraine’s eastern city of Mariupol that was submitted by the UK delegation. Amendments have been proposed to the initial variant of the text that need to be coordinated. “The negotiations on the statement text continue. The Council will most likely hold a meeting on Ukraine on Monday,” she said.

    The UN Security Council last time gathered to discuss the situation in Ukraine on January 21. The meeting was initiated by the Lithuanian delegation.
