US seeks urgent UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine crisis
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe United States and Albania request an emergency UN Security Council meeting Sunday to adopt a resolution convening a special General Assembly session on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, diplomats say.
