During a recent session of the UN Security Council, Ukrainian representatives demanded immediate consideration of a ceasefire resolution. “The paralysis of the UN Security Council must end regarding Russia’s crimes against the international community, which still respects the rules-based international order. We again urge Council members to swiftly introduce a draft resolution for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire,” stated a Ukrainian diplomat.
This initiative is seen as a crucial step towards supporting the restoration of a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace for Ukraine.
The diplomat also urged international partners to continue military support for Ukraine, emphasizing that this action is not an escalation but the only effective strategy to restore peace.
