Putin wants the world to travel back in time to a time before the United Nations, to a time when empires rule the world. But the rest of the world has moved forward. It is not 1919. It is 2022.
We plan to have solid support for it. And then we will move it to the General Assembly if we have to, as we did in the past.
We have held the doors open for meaningful diplomacy and we remain open to dialogue, real productive dialogue without preconditions.
But we have used the Security Council, we have used the General Assembly to isolate Russia, to condemn Russia, to kick Russia off of the Human Rights Council.
