It’s a case that some senior foreign policy figures have urged President Joe Biden to make, including at the Security Council. “If Ukraine will be further attacked by Russia, of course they will not stop in Ukraine,” Markarova said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”Any formal action by the Security Council is extremely unlikely, given Russia's veto power and its ties with others on the council, including China. The head of Russia's Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev, on Sunday rejected Western warnings about an invasion. “At this time, they're saying that Russia threatens Ukraine — that's completely ridiculous,” he was quoted as saying by state news agency Tass. Do not forget that they bombed Yugoslavia for almost three months, invaded Libya, violating the U.N. Security Council resolution, and how they behaved in Afghanistan,” he said.
