Ukraine Calls on Russia to Accept Unconditional Ceasefire at UN Security Council

Ukraine urged Russia at a United Nations Security Council session to accept an unconditional ceasefire, according to Anadolu Agency.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called for the immediate return of Ukrainian civilians, including children, as well as prisoners of war held since the start of the conflict.

The appeal came during a Security Council session addressing the war between Russia and Ukraine, which has continued for more than three years, with periodic diplomatic efforts to reach a ceasefire so far unsuccessful.

The report did not detail Russia's response to the call or provide additional specifics on the scope of the proposed ceasefire.
