The United Nations Security Council is due to vote on Sunday to call for a rare emergency special session of the UN General Assembly on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Reuters reports:
The vote by the 15-member council is procedural so none of the five permanent council members - Russia, China, France, Britain and the United States - can wield their vetoes. The move needs nine votes in favor and is likely to pass, diplomats said. The special session would be held on Monday, diplomats said.
Only 10 such emergency special sessions of the 193-member General Assembly have been convened since 1950.
The request for a session on Ukraine comes after Russia vetoed on Friday a draft UN Security Council resolution that would have deplored Moscow’s invasion. China, India and UAE abstained, while the remaining 11 members voted in favor.
The General Assembly is expected to vote on a similar resolution following several days of statements by countries in the emergency special session, diplomats said. General Assembly resolutions are non-binding but carry political weight.

Treating the captives well and letting them call home is both the right thing to do morally and an excellent way of weakening Russian support within army/back home

Not having a go at you LL but “inaccurate ammunition” is one of the worst buzzwords I’ve ever heard.
They are using unguided munitions, like everyone else does.
I should say though that if they are going to old-school bomb Kyiv then this could get even messier for the Russians; this is exactly what the Germans did to Stalingrad and all it created was heaps of rubble that the defenders used. I am not comparing those heroes to these but you’d think an army with the history of the Russian one would remember it.

It’ll be surprising if that’s real or at least in any decent number. Jumping into an urban area would be suicidal.

Seen a lot of reports that most captured are young conscripts who seem to be confused and their parents had no idea where they were when called, which is why its going badly so far.
Im wondering if they have been sent as cannon fodder whilst the more trained soldiers come in next.
