The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution on “Aggression against Ukraine”, by a large majority of 141 votes in favour, 5 against (with 35 abstentions). The decision is clear. The world strongly condemned the illegal and unprovoked attacks on the sovereign state.
This is a historic moment. The United Nations has gathered to speak on the values and principles contained in the UN Charter. They strongly condemned the aggression of the Russian Federation, as well as the involvement of Belarus, and demanded that they stop using force against Ukraine and withdraw all military forces from the entire territory of Ukraine – immediately, completely and unconditionally. The European Union and its member states worked hand in hand with Ukraine and its partners to prepare a resolution.
We thank all the countries that have supported this and with which we stand together in defence of the international system based on law. We must continue to work for the benefit of international peace and security, protecting all states, large and small, standing by Ukraine and supporting its democratic institutions and representatives.
