Ukraine envoys trying to persuade UN to send peacekeeping mission to Donbas

"Certainly, the issue [of a peacekeeping mission to Ukraine] isn't closed, but Russia blocks it. It's technically possible to evade this blocking, and we don't rule that out," he said. Serheyev noted that the UN General Assembly could dispatch a peacekeeping mission without the permission of the UN Security Council. "There is a resolution 377 at the UN General Assembly 'United for Peace' a special session, which can take that kind of decision. It requires definite work and consolidation of people," Serheyev said. He said that there are other mechanisms which combine UN and EU principles, adding that this would be on agenda of the next UN General Assembly.
