Совет Безопасности ООН обсудит пандемию

Девять стран Совета Безопасности ООН обратились с просьбой о проведении онлайн-встречи для обсуждения влияния пандемии коронавируса на все вопросы повестки дня СБ ООН, говорится в сообщении российского информационного агентства ТАСС со ссылкой на дипломатические источники.

"Девять непостоянных членов Совета Безопасности (Бельгия, Доминиканская Республика, Вьетнам, Германия, Индонезия, Нигер, Сент-Винсент и Гренадины, Тунис и Эстония) обратились с просьбой о проведении такой встречи", - сказал дипломат. "Дата встречи пока не определена. Ожидается, что она пройдет в закрытом формате, и в ней примет участие генеральный секретарь ООН", - отметил дипломат.

Такая встреча откладывалась уже долгое время, поскольку вопрос о пандемии не входит в повестку дня Совета Безопасности. Однако сейчас страны считают целесообразным обсудить влияние пандемии на вопросы, контролируемые Советом Безопасности. В частности, это предложения Генерального секретаря ООН об ослаблении санкций против некоторых стран, прекращении огня, а также гуманитарной помощи и воздействии пандемии на миссии по поддержанию мира.

Trump says Ukraine should give up land for peace as preparations start for US-Russia summit

U.S. President  Donald Trump said that the Donbas region in the east of Ukraine should be “cut up,” leaving most of it in Russian hands, to end a  war that has dragged on for nearly four years. Trump has edged back in the direction of pressing Ukraine to give up on retaking land it has lost to Russia, in exchange for an end to the war. Following a phone call last week, the Russian and US leaders Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump announced they would meet in Budapest for talks on resolving the war in Ukraine, triggered by Moscow's all-out offensive in February 2022. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US counterpart Marco Rubio spoke on Monday 20 October to discuss preparations for the summit, and are expected to meet in person to finalise details. However, the Kremlin stated on Tuesday 21 October that there was "no precise time frame" for the summit even though Trump stated that the meeting with Putin could take place within two weeks.
