NEW YORK - The UN Security Council is due to vote on Friday on a Russian-drafted call for aid access and civilian protection in Ukraine, but diplomats say the measure is set to fail because it does

not push for an end to the fighting orThe draft resolution, seen by Reuters, also does not address accountability or acknowledge Russia's invasion of its neighbour.

A Security Council resolution needs at least nine votes in favour and no vetoes by Russia, China, Britain, France or the United States to be adopted. Diplomats said the Russian move would fail because most of the 15 members would likely abstain. They instead plan to put it to a vote in the 193-member General Assembly where no country wields a veto.
