Security Council to discuss Ukraine

Despite setbacks in the negotiations between the United States and Russia over Ukraine and NATO membership, the Biden administration continues to seek a diplomatic solution. The Kremlin also is open to more talks.

On Monday, the United States squares off with Russia at the U.N. Security Council in New York, a meeting requested by the Biden administration, which hopes to rally the council’s support for Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday criticized Western nations, including the U.S., for their handling of Russia’s military buildup at his border, taking aim at his most important allies as his own military braced for a potential attack.
