This Monday afternoon, the resolution put forward by the United States won the support of ten countries, including Russia, China and the African and Asian countries on the Council, while the five European countries abstained and both France and the United Kingdom refused to use their right of veto, which they could have used by voting against it.

For her part, U.S. Ambassador Dorothy Shea, noted that the resolution is a "landmark agreement."

"We call on all other UN member states to join the United States in pushing for a durable peace that will bring stability to Europe and deter further aggression," the official said.
