@Mary625@mstdn.social as far as I know they aren't public because they were part of the normal negotiation procedure that happens during the normal course of crafting resolutions like this at the UN.

I think sometimes they are made public, but because they are part of sensitive negotiation countries often want to keep the behind the scenes stuff private, because that's how they build trust among each other and are able to negotiate better in future efforts.

And so with this veto in place it sets the stage for a new round of negotiations where the US can push for more meaningful, maybe more aggressive efforts to end the conflict.
