[Regnum] US Permanent Representative Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the UN Security Council about her visit to Nagasaki, Japan, where America dropped an atomic bomb in 1945. At the same time, she tried to shift the responsibility to Russia for ensuring that the world never again experienced the “horror of nuclear weapons.”
After Russia blocked a draft resolution on weapons in space presented by the United States and Japan, Thomas-Greenfield recalled Nagasaki, pointing out that it was the last place where an atomic bomb fell. The US Permanent Representative stated “the deep responsibility for preventing the scourge of war.”
At the same time, the diplomat added that “Russia has refused this responsibility.”
A colleague, Russia’s permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, responded to Thomas-Greenfield’s statement, emphasizing that she, like Japan, never named the country that bombed her.
“It’s as if the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki really came from space and came out of nowhere,” the Russian diplomat added.
As Regnum reported, at the UN Security Council, Russia vetoed a draft resolution prepared by the United States and Japan on the non-deployment of nuclear weapons in outer space.
The document consisted of eight points, one of which contained a ban on the development of nuclear weapons created for launch into orbit, the installation of such weapons on celestial bodies and placement in outer space in any other way.
During the voting, the resolution was supported by 13 out of 15 countries, China abstained.
Russia was forced to block a draft UN Security Council resolution on a ban on the deployment of weapons in space, proposed by the United States and Japan, due to the refusal to accept amendments initiated by Moscow and Beijing, as well as because of Washington’s attempts through the resolution to create new obligations in this area, explained the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs RF Maria Zakharova.
