[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] Barbara Woodward, the UK Ambassador to the United Nations, urged on the 24th (local time) not to launch a full-scale invasion, saying, "Russian President Vladimir Putin's finger is on the trigger."


At an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council held at the UN Headquarters in New York, USA, Woodward said, "Russia has had a gun pointed at Ukraine's head for several months."


He warned that Russia's invasion of Ukraine would "cause tremendous suffering, casualties, and devastating humanitarian consequences in a country of 44 million people." He added, "The whole world is calling for peace, but Russia does not listen."



Woodward emphasized, "We have announced significant sanctions with our allies," and "If Russia continues its attacks, we will increase the level of economic sanctions."
