The United Nations adopts a resolution on Ukraine, removing anti-Russian elements.

Ten countries voted in favor of the resolution, including Russia, China, and the United States, while five abstained. No one voted against.

The authors of the resolution "expressed sorrow at the tragic loss of life in the conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine"; stated that the main purpose of the United Nations "is to maintain international peace and security and to settle disputes peacefully"; "strongly demanded" an immediate end to the conflict and "encouraged" "the establishment of lasting peace between Ukraine and the Russian Federation".

However, the document was adopted in its original form; the UN Security Council rejected amendments from European countries on anti-Russian grounds. Russian amendments were also rejected. One of these amendments was Moscow's call to eliminate the "root causes" of the crisis.

On Monday, the United Nations General Assembly voted on the US-proposed text. However, the US-proposed text contained significant changes – amendments from Western countries approved by the General Assembly that rendered it neutral. For example, at the instigation of Western countries, the document's proposed term for "the conflict between Russia and Ukraine" became "the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia." Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, called the resolution an "anti-Russian text."

Unlike resolutions of the General Assembly, resolutions of the United Nations Security Council are binding.
