We refuse to be summoned anywhere by Russia. Czechia will not serve the lie-poisoned propaganda of the aggressor. When Russia wants to discuss the withdrawal of its occupying troops at the Security Council, we will be happy to come.
100% agree. Much of the media coverage, even outside of the US (
@BBC
) falsely reported that the

draft resolution called for a ceasefire in direct and plain terms.
#UNSC
Yea the
#US
draft resolution did not call for an immediate ceasefire. That is a fact. Saying it does call for one is inaccurate and misleading. But I believe it was written in such a way to create that confusion. If you read OP1 closely, the US draft sought to have the

Nevertheless, after the Committee met twice without a favourable conclusion, the draft resolution faces a veto whenever it will be put to the vote, as many are already aware.

Agree with
@baysontheroad
. If the US draft resolution actually called for a
