UN adopts US resolution with amendments calling for restoration of Ukraine's territorial integrity

Details: The US resolution, titled Path to Peace, was supported by 93 UN member states, while 8 voted against it, and 73 abstained. Ukraine abstained from voting, as did the United States, which prepared the resolution.

At the same time, the UN General Assembly rejected a Russian amendment calling for the removal of the "root causes" of the war in Ukraine, with 71 states voting against it and only 31 in favour.

However, three amendments proposed by European states were approved, among them a change to the wording around the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation as well as an addition of a call for a just, lasting and comprehensive peace between Ukraine and Russia in accordance with the UN Charter and the principles of sovereign equality and territorial integrity of states.
