UNITED NATIONS: The UN General Assembly (UN GA) has adopted a US draft resolution concerning the conflict in Ukraine, while simultaneously introducing several anti-Russian amendments, according to a TASS correspondent.

Ninety-three countries voted in favor of the draft resolution, eight - including Russia and Belarus - voted against it, and 73, including the United States, abstained from voting.

The amendments proposed by European countries significantly altered the wording of the US draft, effectively transforming a neutral document into one that is anti-Russian. Notably, in the preamble, references to a conflict between Russia and Ukraine were replaced with the phrase "full-scale invasion" by Russia. Furthermore, a specific paragraph was added to affirm the commitment to Ukraine's territorial integrity "within internationally recognized borders" and to emphasize the need for a peaceful resolution between Russia and Ukraine "in line with the founding UN Charter, reaffirming the UN's support for Ukraine's sovereignty, independence, unity, and territorial integrity."
