An important UN resolution regarding the war in Ukraine – what you should know

Last week, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said that this week, almost 60 states will submit a draft resolution on the war in Ukraine to the UN General Assembly, and it will be considered on the eve of the first anniversary of the full-scale Russian invasion. 

As noted by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, the meeting of the UN General Assembly took place in conditions of intense tension. Russia tried to block the vote for the draft resolution in support of peace in Ukraine .

Meanwhile, China spoke from the podium of the UN General Assembly in support of the cessation of Western arms supplies to Ukraine, as it allegedly hinders the establishment of peace.
