Russia backs UN plan for an independent Palestinian state

Russia has consistently aligned with the view that a UN Security Council resolution should lead to the creation of an independent Palestinian state. This stance was reiterated by the Russian president during the plenary session at Russian Energy Week, where the emphasis was placed on the need for a clear path to statehood for the Palestinian people. The president stated that Russia has long supported the implementation of UN Security Council decisions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state, a position he described as essential to regional stability and lasting peace.
