KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A senior U.S. official says the U.N. Security Council is expected to vote Friday on a resolution condemning Russia in the strongest terms possible for attacking Ukraine and demanding the immediate withdrawal of all Russian forces. The vote will go ahead even though the legally binding measure will be vetoed by Russia. The official says the United States believes it’s important to put the resolution to a vote to underscore Russia’s international isolation. And the official emphasizes that the expected veto will be followed quickly by a resolution in the 193-member General Assembly where there are no vetoes. The official wasn’t authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
