The United States ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, has ventured this Wednesday that in the event that Russia continues as before, one of the “biggest” refugee crises is likely.
“If Russia continues down this path, it could, according to our estimates, create a new refugee crisis, one of the largest facing the world today, with up to five million more people displaced by war.” , the US ambassador has speculated.
“The tidal wave of suffering that this war will cause is unthinkable,” said Thomas-Greenfield, who has reproached the Russian representatives for supposedly not paying attention to the calls that the international community has been making to try to solve this conflict through the diplomatic route.
“Has Russia led these calls? No,” she asked herself and answered herself. “Instead, he has carried out additional actions to undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty, including mass disinformation, or attempting to create pretexts to justify his actions,” she charged.
In this sense, Thomas-Greenfield has pointed out to the United Nations that “there is no middle ground” on this issue, so asking both parties to reduce tensions only “benefits” Russia, the only “aggressor here.”
“Russia’s aggression not only threatens all of Ukraine, but all the states that make up the United Nations,” an organization that could become “a farce” if Moscow’s aspirations are not curbed.
“Now is not the time to stand by. Now is the time to come out and show Russia that it is isolated and alone in its aggressive actions. Let us fully support the principles of sovereignty, political independence and territorial integrity for Ukraine and for all states.” members,” he remarked.
