According to @SCRtweets, later this evening the Security Council is expected to vote on a draft resolution calling for an “emergency special session” (ESS) of the @UN General Assembly to consider and recommend collective action on the situation in #Ukraine. 
The draft resolution, tabled by @AlMissionUN and @USUN, is a #unitingforpeace resolution, referring a situation in which its permanent members are deadlocked to the General Assembly. If adopted, it would be the first such resolution the Council has adopted in four decades.
While the General Assembly could choose to discuss and vote on the current #RussiaUkraine conflict independently, the goal of several Council members is to send a strong political signal by pursuing a Security Council. “Uniting for Peace” resolution.
