In a joint statement, representatives of five Security Council members — Denmark, France, Greece, the U.K., and Slovenia — along with incoming member Latvia, denounced #Russian#invasion of #Georgia 17 years ago and its continued military presence in the country's #Abkhazia and South Ossetia regions.
The U.S., which in previous years joined similar condemnations, did not join the statement. The U.S. has not publicly commented on the decision.
