Kenyan U.N. ambassador compares Ukraine's plight to colonial legacy in Africa
Instead of looking back to an age of empire, Russia should accept Ukraine's borders and move on, Kenya's ambassador told a session of the U.N. Security Council.
Russia's move to recognize breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine as "republics" drew a sharp rebuke from Kenyan U.N. Ambassador Martin Kimani, who used a speech at the U.N. Security Council to recount the perils of clinging to vestiges of empire.
Kimani said Russian President Vladimir Putin rejected diplomacy in favor of military force, which has put the international norm of multilateralism "on its deathbed."
