UN approves Ukraine resolution condemning Russia: How did India, China, US vote? Key players for and against | World News

The resolution, passed with 93 votes in favour, 18 against, and 65 abstentions, comes on the third anniversary of Russia’s war with Ukraine.

Ukraine and its European allies tabled the draft resolution ‘Advancing a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in Ukraine’.

What does the UN resolution on Ukraine say?

The newly adopted resolution called for“de-escalation, an early cessation of hostilities and a peaceful resolution of the war against Ukraine, marked by enormous destruction and human suffering, including among the civilian population, in line with the Charter of the United Nations and international law”.

The resolution stands as a win for Ukraine but also showcases diminished support for Kyiv.

The US also tabled a brief rival resolution ‘The path to peace’ that mourns the tragic loss of life throughout the “Russian Federation-Ukraine” conflict. A draft amendment tabled by France sought to replace “the Russian Federation-Ukraine conflict” in the US-tabled text with “the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation”.
