- In a tense exchange with the Russian ambassador, Ukraine's representative to the United Nations has told the security council that Russian president Vladimir Putin has 'declared war on Ukraine'.

Russia’s representative to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzya, has justified Russia’s military operations under article 51 of the UN charter, which allows for 'self-defence'.
The council met as Ukrainian officials confirmed missile strikes on a number of Ukrainian cities, including the capital Kyiv. Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has introduced martial law while urging to people to remain calm.
He added that he has spoken with US president Joe Biden, and told Ukrainians to stay home and to stay calm: 'The army works. I will be with you all the time. Stay strong. We will win because we are Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine.'

@Ayush K M it actually makes perfect sense. Iykyk.

Special military operations in the Donbass
Well why is most of the Russian military actions not in the Donbass?
USA bombed my country Serbia and called it a "Merciful Angel' operation...so what now smartass?
This isn‘t a car, it‘s a four-wheeled motor vehicle for personal transport.
So it's a quad bike
This isn’t a minute. It’s a time interval that’s made up of 60 seconds.
This isn’t a ballistic missile, it’s an explosive rocket that guides itself to its target when at a certain distance within the objective.
Lets compare to Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan. This is more like Grenada or Panama!
They must have learnt those tactics from the US UK and Israel. Playing with words
"This isn't a war, it's a Special Military Operation."
"He isn't the Russian President, he's a very naughty boy."

Well, he isn't the Russian President.
“It isn’t war, it’s a special military operation”
He didn’t do a front flip he rotated his body a full 360 degrees
i'm not in shock as the west has been doing this for the past 30 years with all wars in the middle east.
He didn’t even have the bottle to admit what his country is doing what a coward. A man is pleading with you to stop the war and you basically say there is no war
And then he runs away.
Didnt The US act the same way in the cuban missile crisis
In his defense, Putin would have him poisoned before he finished the sentence.
Exactly what Putin's govt always does - they distract or defer, deny the obvious and then blame someone else.
Didn’t the us act the same way towards iraq, syria and afghanistan? Did any of you said anything bout innocent people dying? No…. And now y’all want this war to stop jst because y’all scared of russia and that’s all 🤣
These aren't sanctions, they are special economic operations.
🤣 🤣 🤣
Hah! This is the best one.
Special economic conditions
Haha you hit it !
Excellent!🤣
“This isn’t war, it’s a special military operation”
That's a distinction without a difference
War would require a delectation and would allow for the mobilization of reserves, thus far only contract soldiers have been mobilized.
Classic Gaslighting !
"It's not war, it's a special military operation." Stunned a room full of grown adults missed that. I imagine it's easy to invade a country when they just allow war if it's called something else.

Putin: Declares war
Literally everyone: its war.
literally ukrainian constitution article 106: The President of Ukraine forwards the submission to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on the declaration of a state of war, and adopts the decision on the use of the Armed Forces in the event of armed aggression against Ukraine - this was not done by 27 feb
article 85: The authority of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine comprises declaring war upon the submission of the President of Ukraine and concluding peace, approving the decision of the President of Ukraine on the use of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations in the event of armed aggression against Ukraine - obviously not done as there was no decision of the president

Or I guess if a country starts sending nukes directly to your coordinates, would you say there's actually no nuclear war so long as your country doesn't acknowledge it? Putin himself declared war, but you say it's all peaceful in Ukraine because they didn't respond to the declaration the "right" way? Come on now.

The UN is more important than all of you think, but as soon as (obviously) countries like China, Russia or whatever can't be magically stopped in their agenda the entire organization is somehow useless smh
1,5M people already escaped from Donbas since 2014...Now it's easy to be separatist mayority and invade right? This conflict is like a war since 2014 Crimea's invasion

me : nah its a picnic in your backyard
How can they just flat out dismiss him pleading for his country like this? What is going on?
Literally russia has the power to say "no" to any decision the un tries to make.
Rush Limbaugh once said the UN was like the cantina bar full of Aliens on Tatooine in Star Wars, your comment made me think of that
Ever seen the Phantom Menace?
@@Akaitoism duh its the head of security
Strong countries like the U.S. and Russia have Veto powers, they can stop any UN activities if they use it.
"This isn't a war, it's a special military operation"
This isn't a wolf, it's a doggo!
@mikoy huio ironic coming from the man who promoted proganda and forced young people to fight in the war.
Wow. Just wow.
😔
I just can't see that Ukranian ambassador literally pleading to every leader present there it's just too much heart breaking
Ukraine crying now after segregating Russians in eastern Ukraine
Lol…
@Heidi the amount of Russian bots in CZcams comment sections are astronomical.
@Heidi zelensky will not sell out Ukraine to the west … that will only happen in your dream
I feel bad for Ukraine but the hypocrisy of people supporting Ukraine but applauding Americas invasion of Iraq
@@TRHQA i do agree in a sense but, the invasions were for different reasons.
If diplomacy fails then the leaders should be blamed for it but it will ALWAYS be the people and the innocent ones who will bear the consequences of their actions
Depending on the nation and system of government, the people would or would not be also to blame. For example the united states, the people of the country vote in their leaders, their leaders along with the people are to blame.
@ShadowHunter22 you may have voted for somebody else or didn't vote at all. But compared to a citizen in a country without democratic election, probabilistically speaking, you are more likely to be responsible for your leader's action. For example, if a bomb is dropped and 1000 random citizens got killed in each of the two countries, in the one with democratic election the number of completely innocent people would on average be smaller. You can't enjoy the right given by democracy without bearing its associated responsibilities.
Cogent.
There is no diplomacy in Russian foreign policy. All this time in Putin's reign they have just tried to soften Europe, hire people to lobby their ideas of gas pipes and other energy sources and intimitate neighbours. Like Sauli Niinistö, president of Finland, said: any of these intimitation s about NATO-membership are not new. They have been heard already years earlier. Only the naive fools thought Putin would just soften away. He still thinks its possible to get old great Russia back
War is diplomacy, by other means-Clauswitz.
It’s not a cake it’s a pie
No, no...this is war.
"It's not a war its a special military operation"
"I didn't lose I merely failed to win"
Lol... Well if you fail to win it could be a draw I guess. Doesn't work in this context though.

Ukraine's democratically elected government exists.
Russia: yep that's definitely a military junta
Ukraine's government was actually formed by a coup in 2013 backed by the US and EU that overthrew a Russian friendly government, so hes not totally wrong, just exaggerating. What Russia is doing now is basically a military junta ironically, if not a full annexation of Ukraine. Nothing in Ukraine has ever had anything to do with the will of the working people, just world superpowers.
No... There was an election in *2014* , overseen by independent bodies who declared it the safest Ukrainian election so far, in which the people chose to reject a Russian stooge (Poroshenko) in favour of a government that was not heavily reliant on Russia. Putin responded by annexing Crimea. Now he's terrified that they're seeking to further themselves from Russian control and he's putting a stop to it. He hasn't provided a single scrap of evidence to support his claims of "nazification" or genocide... Because there is no proof, because it's an excuse.
His invasion is because Ukraine dares to want to make it's own decisions as a sovereign nation. Zelensky kinda showed he wasn't a western stooge when he refused to be blackmailed by Trump (on *that* call, where he was asked to dig up dirt on the Bidens in exchange for military aid).
The democratically elected govt of Ukraine was overthrown in a coup in 2014 with aid of US and its allies
Western media are responsible for escalation... They fail questions their leaders on EU and NATO Expansion... Which provoked the russia. They are forgetting their own reaction to CUBA missile crisis.... Which also came in reaction to American placing missiles in italy and neighbours countries close to Russia
@@bluebludtv3878 there was an election afterwards zelenzsky won.
Before war: we are with you
After war: our prayers are with you
The Nato soldiers can't engage the Russian army. That would start a world war and it's not worth it for the whole world to be at war for the sake of one country. That is why their funneling weapons into Ukraine. It's all they can do to help the conflict because they believe Ukraine can win against Russia. If they didn't, they would have let Ukraine out to dry.
Ahahahahaha that is what the west for you.
Lol because US and Nato are possies
@@danielbalderrama4137 ^^^
@@danielbalderrama4137 I agree with you, but the idea of "Starting a world war because of the sake of one country" has happened before, remember how WW2 started, in this situation, Ukraine is like Poland and Russia is like Germany. It's as if its repeating.
This is equivalent to someone getting mad at being called the loser in tennis so they say, "I was second place in a singles match."
"It isn't war, it's a special military operation*
