UN ambassador calls on Europe to address ‘root causes of crisis’ as China and Russia support US-backed measure, Britain and France abstain.
China's UN ambassador called for a "favourable atmosphere" for a political settlement in Ukraine after voting for a US-backed UN Security Council resolution urging an end to the conflict. The ambassador urged Europe to address the root causes of the crisis and seek long-term stability. The resolution, supported by China, Russia, and the US, avoids direct condemnation of Russia.
