The US government reminded the Kremlin of US President Donald Trump's tough ultimatum to establish peace in Ukraine within 50 days, as well as the consequences if Moscow does not comply with Washington's demand. China also came under fire for helping Russia prolong the war.
Points of attention
- Ongoing efforts to establish lasting peace in Ukraine are hindered by the involvement of China in supporting Russian aggression.
- Acting US ambassador to the UN warns of further measures if Russia continues its attacks and highlights the urgency to end the conflict.
The US reminded Russia that time is running out
The acting US permanent representative to the UN, Ambassador Dorothy Shea, made a strong statement on this matter during a meeting of the UN Security Council.
The American diplomat once again recalled that on July 14, Trump warned Russian dictator Vladimir Putin about the need to sign a peace agreement within 50 days.
If Russia does not agree to cease attacks within this period, the United States is prepared to take further measures, said Dorothy Shea.
The diplomat also drew attention to the fact that more than 100 days ago, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution calling for a quick end to the war and the establishment of lasting peace in Ukraine, but this has not happened yet.
According to her, the situation is also worsening because China continues to assist Russia in its war of aggression:
Beijing's statement on introducing strict export controls on dual-use goods is simply crumbling against the daily detection of Chinese-made components in drones, weapons, and vehicles that Russia is using against Ukraine, Shi emphasized.
