China vetoes.

I think China will vote with Russia.

providing no foreign troops are on the ground.

unlike the joke resolution on Libya....................thank you Susan Rice, now fuck off.

civilian transit out and relief aid in and to prevent it from being used to move military supplies and personnel - then the resolution will just be pretty words on a piece of paper.

Wonderful words and intentions with no action or enforcement most often do not solve problems. It will be interesting to see if there is an enforcement mechanism in the draft resolution. Actual effective corridors would be a good thing for Ukraine and a great precedent.

the devil is in the details.

While there is a good deal of mistrust between the two, China might be willing to back Russia. Both countries currently have ongoing disputes with the US (China in the South China Sea and Russia in Ukraine) and they signed the oil deal. Cooperation could be in the cards.

If China supports it, then the only thing that could stop it is another country vetoing it. It very well could have a chance.

Russia wants bantustans where its thugs can establish themselves as the 'legitimate' authorities.

where civil conflict endangers civilians.

Russia leading the way for sure.

Sounds like a good deal of unhappiness coming down the pike for neo-fascist-loving, war-with-Russia-wanting hate boosters in this country.

Frankly, however, people like that need to be unhappy!

and wreak more havoc. And to divide up the Ukrainian military to stop it from engaging with those thugs.

There would be no war if Russian-backed thugs would stop trying to thug things up.

I predict China abstains, US, UK, and France all veto while commenting "as if."

You don't see any reason they should be provided with food and medicine? Old people, children and the wounded can just suck it up, right?
