“The United Nations Security Council chamber erupted in rare applause late Friday after Ukraine’s ambassador to the UN, Sergiy Kyslytsya, called for a moment of silence to honor those who had died in Ukraine.
“”I will ask all of you to dedicate a moment of complete silence to pray, or to mediate if you do not believe in God, for peace,” said Kyslytsya at the meeting. “To pray for souls of those who has been already killed, for souls of those who may be killed.”
He also invited Russia’s ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, to “pray for salvation.”
“The moment came after Russia used its veto power to block a Security Council resolution to condemn Russia’s invasion into Ukraine.
“After Kyslytsya spoke, Nebenzia cut in to say the council should also honor those who died in the Donbas region, where Russia launched its military operation on Thursday.”
