Biden also said Washington is exploring options “further macroeconomic support” for the Ukrainian economy, which is under pressure for the accumulation of Russian troops at the borders.

The United States is calling for a UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine to be held on Monday
The United States has asked the UN Security Council to convene a public meeting on Monday to discuss “threatening behavior” Russia against Ukraine, including the accumulation of Russian troops at their common borders. This was announced on Thursday by the American ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield, reports Reuters.
Russia has recently amassed about 100,000 troops near its border with Ukraine, although it denies planning an invasion of Ukraine. In the meantime, several diplomatic talks have taken place in an effort to resolve the situation, but they have not reached a major turning point, while Russia and NATO have left the door open for further discussions, Reuters reports. “Russia is engaging in further destabilizing actions against Ukraine, which poses a clear threat to international peace and security, as well as (compliance with) the UN Charter,” said Thomas-Greenfield. “Now is not the time to wait. Now the full attention of the UN Security Council is needed.” she added, adding that the US is looking forward to Monday’s “direct and decisive” discussion.

Reuters explains that any member of the UN Security Council can request a vote to block Monday’s meeting. However, a minimum of nine votes is subsequently required for such a vote to succeed. According to UN diplomats, it is unlikely that a meeting convened by the United States will actually be blocked.

The UN Security Council has met many times in connection with tensions between Russia and Ukraine since the Russian annexation of the Crimean Peninsula in 2014. However, it has not been able to adopt any major resolution, given that Russia, as one of its five permanent members, has a veto, Reuters reports.
