Zelensky, waiting for speak in San Remo, came back to ask theintervention ofONU.
The President of Ukraine has proposed the convocation of an Extraordinary Assembly of the United Nations for the first anniversary of the war, the 24 February. The idea of the summit, in Kiev circles, is from December that takes shape, when the Ukrainian Foreign Minister, Dmytro kuleba, spoke about it in an interview with the Associated Press: “The United Nations could be the best place to hold this summit, because it's not about doing a favor to a certain country. It's about getting everyone involved and there is no better place than the United Nations to do it,” said Kuleba.
In his last speech Zelensky he reiterated toWest to act: “The decisions have been good, but it is essential that the strong decisions are timely. "
The peace proposal to be presented to the UN Extraordinary Assembly
For the UN Assembly, President Zelensky has drafted a 10-point peace proposal that 193 countries would be called a vote. The peace proposal is under discussion in Western diplomacy but not everyone agrees on the points proposed. Some steps, such as the protection of infrastructure or the exchange of prisoners, could be addressed immediately; other points, however, can only be implemented after the war, thus making the proposal more complicated to implement.
The Ukrainian leader has already discussed it, informally, with three of the permanent countries at the head of the UN Security Council, the United States, France and the United Kingdom (the other two members are Russia and China).
Una termination would have no legal effect ma would a big resonance and a fort political impact e media. The veto power of Russia, together with that of China, would nullify, as already done previously, any initiative by the executive body of the organization.
Furthermore, there is the risk that any proposal could lead to opposite results to those expected. On the Western Front i countries are tired of war e doubts are growing on a clash that has brought only uncertainty and economic instability. Russia, on the other hand, apart from Iran and North Korea, has not found new supporters. The result of this meeting of the Assembly could only generate bad moods with the risk, however, of making a political favor to Putin.
