“For us, this is not just another vote. It is a reaffirmation that Ukraine is not alone — and that the principles of the UN Charter still matter,” Sybiha wrote in a Twitter post.
“We thank all 107 Member States who supported this clear message. We will continue to act — firmly and consistently — to achieve a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in line with the UN Charter and international law.”
The resolution passed 107–12 with 51 abstentions. Twelve
countries voted against it: Russia, Belarus, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cuba, North
Korea, Eritrea, Iran, Mali, Nicaragua, Niger, and Sudan. The United States
abstained.
The text says Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has now lasted four years and has had devastating consequences for the country as well as for regional and global stability. The assembly expressed strong commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders.
The resolution voiced concern about attacks on civilians, infrastructure and energy facilities and about the deteriorating humanitarian situation. It called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire between the two countries and reiterated a demand for a just and lasting peace based on international law.
France 24 earlier reported that G7 leaders, in a joint
statement marking the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion,
expressed support for Kyiv and praised U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to
end the war.
