America imposed sanctions on two banks, Biden said – Russia is violating international law
US President Joe Biden, while addressing a press conference on Tuesday night, accused Russia of violating international law. Simultaneously, significant sanctions were announced on Russia. He said that Russia was violating international law. Joe Biden asked who gives Putin the right to declare new so-called countries on the territory of his neighbors? The US President says that this is a gross violation of international law. The US believes that Russia is the clear aggressor in heightened tensions with Ukraine. Biden said the sanctions have been imposed on two financial institutions, VEB and Russia’s military bank. In addition, further sanctions are likely to be imposed against the Russian elite and their families.
Russia will take military technical action
After an emergency meeting of the White House Security Council, a senior US official said on Tuesday that Russia would have to agree to withdraw its forces, return to the diplomatic table and work towards peace. Otherwise we will unite and impose sanctions.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov dismissed the threat of sanctions, saying that the West would enforce these sanctions regardless of incidents.
“Our European, American and British allies will not stop until they exhaust their possibilities for the so-called punishment of Russia,” he said. Russia has dismissed fears of an attack on Ukraine, warning that it will take military-technical action if it does not receive comprehensive security guarantees that Ukraine will not join NATO.
On calling Russian soldiers ‘peacekeepers’, America said, Russia is doing nonsense US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield has described Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claim that Putin has said the soldiers ordered to be sent to eastern Ukraine will be military peacekeepers. Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has also expressed concern over Russia’s decision to recognize the “independence” of Ukraine’s Doneshk and Lohansk regions.
Guterres said Moscow’s decision violates Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty and is against the principles of the UN Charter. The US also called the Russian decision to recognize Donsk and Lohansk against the Minsk Agreement. “We know what the reality is,” US envoy Greenfield told an emergency meeting of the Security Council on the Ukraine crisis.
Granting independent recognition to Ukraine’s two rebel and separatist regions is an excuse to incite war in the region. “The consequences of Russian actions will be dire in Ukraine, Europe and around the world,” Greenfield told an emergency meeting of the 15-member council.
Putin did not get UN Security Council support in Ukraine issue
Russian President Vladimir Putin received no support from UNSC members at an emergency meeting of the United Nations on steps taken to bring separatists under his control in Ukraine. Ukraine has called a special session to condemn Putin’s actions on a variety of issues, including recognizing the independence of the separatist regions of Donsk and Lohansk.
Russia is the chairman of the Security Council this month and did not want the meeting, but diplomats said they agreed to the open session under intense pressure from Western countries and other members. French Ambassador to the United Nations Nicolas de Rivire said Russia is “choosing the path of challenge and confrontation while other countries, including France and Germany, have worked tirelessly in the past days to de-escalate tensions”.
America will stop new investments in Donysk-LohanskThe UN Security Council called an emergency meeting on Ukraine after the Russian President’s decision to give official recognition to Donesk and Lohansk. It is headed by Russia this month. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said President Joe Biden has signed an executive order that will freeze all new investment, trade and funding by Americans in Ukraine’s so-called ‘Donesk and Lohansk’ regions. “We will continue to coordinate with Ukraine and our allies and partners to take appropriate steps in response to unprovoked and unacceptable actions by Russia,” he said.
Can conclude that the attack has started: Britain
UK Health Minister Sajid Javid said, the current situation is as serious as the Cuban missile crisis in 1962. At that time, the US-Oviat Union conflict had brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. “You can conclude that the invasion of Ukraine has started,” he said.
world dividing into two poles
The world seems to be divided into two poles over the Ukraine crisis. China said it was concerned and urged all sides to exercise restraint, while Japan said it was ready to join international sanctions on Moscow in the event of a full-scale invasion. Turkey said Russian recognition of both regions was unacceptable. The Syrian Foreign Minister said that we supported Moscow’s decision to recognize two separate regions. Let us tell you, Syria stands on Putin’s side because his forces helped to turn the civil war in the favor of President Bashar al-Assad.
Immediate diplomatic talks, military action not right: India
In the midst of a deepening war crisis between Russia and Ukraine, India has called for diplomatic and diplomatic dialogue between all sides in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). India has said that military growth is not good for us. Expressing concern over the crisis, India said that keeping in view the security interests of all countries, reducing tension is an immediate priority.
During the UNSC meeting, India’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations TS Tirumurti said, the immediate priority of the Russia-Ukraine crisis is military withdrawal. We make several appeals to all sides to exercise restraint and are convinced that this issue can only be resolved through diplomatic dialogue. We need to give room to the recent initiatives by the parties trying to de-escalate the tension. Tirumurti said, “We are keeping a close watch on all developments including the activities taking place on the eastern border of Ukraine and the announcement made by the Russian Federation in this regard.”
Britain: Johnson said – will impose economic sanctions on RussiaPM Boris Johnson has said that Britain will attack Russia with the first string of economic sanctions. He accused Putin of clearly violating Ukraine’s sovereignty, saying he had broken international law by sending troops to the disputed region. He said Ukraine’s territorial integrity would be respected. British PM chairs emergency meeting regarding Ukraine crisis.
Britain is preparing to impose sanctions on Moscow after Russia recognized two separate regions of Ukraine, Cabinet Office Briefing Room-A (COBRA) said in a meeting on Tuesday morning. Johnson described the current situation as “an unfortunate indicator and a very bad time”. Foreign Minister Liz Truss confirmed that preparations are underway to impose sanctions on people and organizations affiliated with Russia and that recent laws will be used.
Europe brainstorming on energy security
European leaders are concerned about energy security due to rising fuel prices and fears of a Russian attack on Ukraine. A great cause for concern is that they have been dependent on Moscow for decades for natural gas. Renewables such as solar and wind energy are slowing down and other fossil fuels are running out, so Europe is dependent on Russia for natural gas. Prices jumped due to Russia selling less gas than usual, for which the common people and businessmen have to bear the brunt. EU Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson said the strengthening of renewable sources of energy would reduce Russia’s dependence on gas.
Japan will consider ‘serious action’
Japan’s PM Fumio Kishida has condemned Ukraine’s violation of sovereignty, saying his country will discuss possible “serious action” on Russia, including sanctions, with the world fraternity. Kishida was responding to a question asked by Putin about the signing of an order recognizing the independence of two separatist regions of eastern Ukraine. According to Putin, his troops will establish peace in these areas. “This action is unacceptable and we strongly condemn it,” Kishida said. “Japan is seeing these developments of serious concern,” he said.
