A broad coalition of Ukraine’s allies is preparing to push for a General Assembly vote on February 24. The aim is to condemn Russia and call for the immediate and full withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukrainian territory, in line with internationally recognized borders. The report for this plan draws on information attributed to the Associated Press.
The Ukrainian side has circulated a resolution for adoption by the United Nations General Assembly ahead of what many describe as the first anniversary of Ukraine’s current conflict. The document emphasizes the urgent need for peace and highlights the importance of a political settlement that respects Ukraine’s sovereignty.
Kyiv has signaled that it seeks broad support for a framework titled Principles underlying a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in Ukraine. This proposed framework is presented as a basis for negotiations and a path toward restoring stability in the region.
Csaba Kőrösi, who previously chaired the United Nations General Assembly, has urged member states to employ every available channel to restore peace in Ukraine. His call emphasizes adherence to the UN Charter and the importance of international norms in guiding the response to the crisis.
Observers note that the forthcoming vote could shape the international community’s stance on sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the rules-based order. Support, opposition, and abstentions are all expected to influence the drafting of future UN resolutions and the broader diplomatic approach to the conflict. [Attribution: Associated Press]n
