The UN General Assembly adopted two resolutions regarding the Russia-Ukraine war during a meeting held on February 24. This was reported on the UN's social media page here.

It was noted that the General Assembly initially adopted a resolution prepared by the countries of the European Union and Ukraine. The document, titled "Promoting a Comprehensive, Just, and Lasting Peace in Ukraine," calls for de-escalation, an immediate cessation of hostilities, and a peaceful resolution to the war.

Ninety-three countries voted in favor, 18 countries voted against, and 65 countries remained neutral (including Uzbekistan). Among those who voted against the resolution were the US, Russia, and Hungary. Meanwhile, China remained neutral in the voting.

Later, the General Assembly voted for the "Road to Peace" resolution prepared by the United States. It was emphasized that the US incorporated amendments proposed by European countries into its resolution, specifically replacing the phrase "conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine" with "Russia's large-scale invasion."

Ninety-two countries voted for the draft resolution, eight voted against (including Russia), and 73 countries abstained from voting — among them was the US as well.

The UN General Assembly did not support the amendments made by the Russian Federation to the resolution prepared by the US. According to Russia's permanent representative to the UN, Vasiliy Nebenzya, the RF made amendments to the document regarding the "necessity to address the root causes of the Ukraine crisis."

It should be noted that in 2023, Uzbekistan also remained neutral in voting for the resolution that recorded Russia's aggression.
