Ukrainian soldiers and separatists must 'immediately cease hostilities.' ' The call was made unanimously by the fifteen member countries of the Security Council of the UN, including Russia.
Russia, which is at the origin of another statement, also unanimous, urging the belligerents to apply the Minsk agreements. 'The Minsk Agreement must be fully respected by all parties. We must avoid adopting unilateral measures that are inconsistent with the spirit of the document signed February 12, 2015, '' said Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin.
US Ambassador expressed surprise that Russia is behind this resolution criticizing Moscow's attitude since the beginning of the Ukrainian crisis: '' Russia signed agreements and does everything in its power to undermine them. Russia defends the sovereignty of nations and then acts as if the borders of its neighbors did not exist. The idea that Russia, which has caused and continues to worsen violence in Ukraine, has introduced a resolution calling for a peaceful solution to the conflict is ironic, "said Samantha Power.
The Security Council also expressed deep concern at the continued fighting and recalls that only through peaceful means to resolve this conflict.
