According to Dmitry Polyansky, Moscow's First Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Western nations are currently working to eliminate any "sharp corners" from the text of their draught anti-Russia resolution for the UN General Assembly in order to garner as much support as possible.

The resolution will probably be put up for a vote at the UN next week on the anniversary of the beginning of Russia's military operation in Ukraine, the diplomat predicted in a Telegram message. According to the draught resolution's official mission statement, it is intended to discuss "the principles underlying a comprehensive, just, and sustainable peace in Ukraine."

The real goal of Western politicians, according to Polyansky, is to use the anniversary as "an informational occasion for new attacks on Russia" and to demonstrate how alone Moscow is at the UN.

"The fact that we are not alone is their main issue. Additionally, it is getting harder to push through anti-Russian texts, he said, noting that the West is struggling to "remove all the'sharp corners' and to 'round off' everything as much as possible." "in the resolution's text.

Polyansky added that the West has essentially "muzzled the Ukrainians" so that they don't speak out in order to gain the most support, "not scare anyone away," and to ensure that their efforts are not in vain.

The diplomat continued, "And now they just watch regrettably as the text of the draught becomes more and more ambiguous," noting that despite the West's efforts, many nations are still reluctant to support the resolution.

The presumed outcome of the vote, he added, "American cowboy blackmail and arm-twisting have not been cancelled," and it still could change.

The UN General Assembly is scheduled to hold an emergency session on February 22 to discuss the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine at the time of the diplomat's remarks. Western nations plan to put forth their resolution during this session, which, according to sources who have seen the draughts cited by news agency RIA, echos the "peace plan" of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.

Zelensky's initiative includes the release of all prisoners of war and the restoration of the "territorial integrity of Ukraine" as ten points. However, Moscow has rejected this "peace formula" as "illusory" and unacceptable, claiming that it demonstrates Kiev's lack of readiness for meaningful negotiation.
