United Nations, Jan 31 : The United Nation Security Council voted on Monday to proceed with a public meeting on Ukraine, with Russia and China opposing the move. Ten members of the council voted in favor of the meeting, two against, and three abstained. The Russian ambassador to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, dismissed the US-proposed meeting as a “classic example of megaphone diplomacy.” China’s Permanent Representative Zhang Jun, who voted against as well, explained that this is “the right time calling for quiet diplomacy with more diplomatic efforts instead of microphone diplomacy or public confrontation.”
