Below, in italics, is the excerpt of “2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine” from wikipedia:
On 24 February 2022, Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine. The campaign started after a prolonged military buildup, the Russian recognition of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic in the days prior to the invasion, followed by the entrance of the Russian Armed Forces to the Donbas region of Eastern Ukraine on 21 February 2022.
At about 06:00 Moscow time (UTC+3), President Vladimir Putin announced a military operation in eastern Ukraine; minutes later, missile strikes began at locations across the country, including near the capital Kyiv. The Ukrainian Border Service stated that its borders with Russia and Belarus were attacked.[10][11] Multiple countries have condemned the attack on Ukraine.
For the second time this week, UN Security Council just held an emergency meeting late in the evening of Wednesday, February 23, 2022, for the core principle of the UN, striving for world peace, is under attack, in the video streamed on Feb 23, 2022, “WATCH LIVE: UN Security Council holds emergency meeting as Russian forces threaten to invade Ukraine“, below:
The world is calling for peace, but Russia is not listening. Should Russia continue its aggression, stronger economic sanctions from the West will ensue. The representative from Ireland spoke, in italics, “It is our collective responsibility, indeed, our obligation, here at this table, to maintain international peace and security, nothing less. That means, we stand up for the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of every member state of the United Nations. Let’s be clear! The internationally recognized borders of Ukraine have not changed! The decision by Russia to recognize its independent entities the non-government controlled areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine does not change those borders one iota. They did not change in 2014, and they have not changed this week. We urged the Russia federation to reverse this decision immediately. We urged the Russian federation to refrain from further escalatory unilateral actions which can only serve to further deepen this crisis. Tonight, the path for diplomacy, the path for dialogue that we have called on for so long is perilously narrow. The principles of UN charter we hold dear have already been breached. These principles now risk being further violated. This is the time to show courage, the courage and the time now to pull back from the precipice, the time to return to dialogue and to diplomacy. The use of military aggression has no place in our modern world. Have we learned absolutely nothing from our history? These United Nations rose from ashes of two World Wars. The senseless destruction of that era was born of a belief that military might makes right. This philosophy, applied with modern weaponry, would release devastation and human suffering, affecting millions of innocent people. Tonight, we stand with the people of Ukraine. Tonight, we stand with the UN charter. We stand with those who even in this dark hours still have the courage and hope to bring us back from this precipice. Resort to military conquest for one state to impose its will unilaterally against another, to annex part of its territory has absolutely no place for 21st century. There is still a choice, a choice to turn from the path of war to the path of diplomacy and dialogue. Mr. President, it is never too late to make the right choice. Thank you.“
