On the 4th anniversary of the Russia-Ukraine war, the United Nations General Assembly passed a draft resolution supporting lasting peace in Ukraine, defending Ukraine's international borders, and expressing concern over Russia's intensified attacks on civilians and critical energy infrastructure.
On the 24th, the General Assembly adopted the resolution supporting Ukraine with 107 votes in favor, 12 against, and 51 abstentions. Although the resolution is not legally binding, it carries political weight.
The voting results showed that Russia, Belarus, and Sudan voted against the resolution, while China and the United States abstained.
UN Secretary-General Guterres, speaking at a subsequent Security Council meeting, stated that the Russia-Ukraine war remains “a stain on our collective conscience,” and again called for an immediate ceasefire.
At another UN event, dozens of countries—including France, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, and Peru—came together during a Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva, jointly condemning Russia's human rights violations and reaffirming their support for Ukraine.
