Even if all that Russia puts forward is the Kiev regime accepting, publicly and bindingly, the peace plan that was turned into UNSC resolution 2202, the reports will be that Russia is making 'unreasonable demands'.
"the withdrawal of all foreign armed formations, military equipment and mercenaries from the territory of Ukraine"
I could see Ukraine getting behind that. It would have to be real this time, though.

Many people with legal status will be wrongfully deported.
Most of the illegal ones will be deported
Fun fact: the law doesn't find that acceptable.

HaHaHaHa. The ROC, administering less than 1% of the national territory with a population then of around 20 million versus 1+ billion on the Mainland.
One word comes to mind, losers.
And yet that might force of thugs in the PLA can't lay a finger on them.

Newsflash - Not vetoing something is akin voting for it.
Newsflash - Things can be placed on the General Assembly agenda without the Security Council. The rightful member the ROC itself could have vetoed it otherwise.

You can answer all of these questions yourself. Just because China refused to show up at court doesn't mean it can't have a ruling against it.

Taipei disputes the 'ruling' too, you know...
Glad you agree that Taiwan is a country.
And more to the point: Washington is in no moral, legal or decent position to recognize/enforce a ruling of a body they don't recognize in the first place.
China can not disgrace itself independently of what the US does.

As far as I know the UN (and the ICJ) is neutral on the scs arbitration ruling.
They have no position onthe legal and procedural merits of the case.
I said the Phillipines the country has 100% UN recognition but the SCS arbitration was done legally and showed clearly that China is, as always, the violator. The only countries that opposed the ruling were the usual collection of scofflaws.

having ten micro-states and the Vatican in the ledger doesn't come close to anything approaching a decent lion's share.
More than russia's disgraces.
Also, Resolution 2758, which the General Assembly has used to block such an affront since the deplatforming, which incidentally Washington voted to establish.
The US did not vote for 2758. You have to try harder for your whataboutisms.

They are free to put the alleged 'recognition' to a vote at the General Assembly at any time. Begs the question: why won't they.
The PRC won't allow it. That's the only reason.

Sucks having a nation of laws and not just King Trump, don't it?
sucks having a partisan judiciary where anyone appointed by a Democrat ignores the actual law and blocks policy of our elected President.
