Homme Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Marta Kostyuk just released a good statement. Basically pull all WTA and ITF events out of Russia but asking people to support their Russian colleagues. It's generally an individual sport tennis. So let the Russians play without their flag next to their name. Ban Russia from the Davis cup or similar type events since that is when they represent their country.

redjambo Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 From various comments made by different ambassadors, the future may bring moves to drop the veto from the Security Council. The Ukrainian ambassador also brought into question Russia's membership of the UN saying that proper procedure hadn't been followed when it took over the mantle of the USSR. I've read elsewhere that Russia's permanent seat on the Security Council may be questioned. I don't think the latter two have much chance of progressing, but there does seem to be a fair bit of annoyance that Russia vetoed yesterday's vote in the Security Council when, as far as one ambassador put it, it should have abstained due to its involvement in the subject matter of the vote.

redjambo Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Brazil viewing the conflict as NATO vs Russia. Calls on removal of sanctions due to the effect they will have on the global economy, but again did say that the UN Charter had been broken by the conflict. Consistently used calls to "all parties" rather than just Russia. Looks like they want to resolve the situation, but not piss off the Russians with any of their comments.
