The United Nations Security Council has issued a presidential statement expressing strong support for Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ efforts to find a peaceful solution to the conflict in Ukraine. It was adopted unanimously yesterday by council members, including Russia. It is the first such statement adopted by all council members since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February. Presidential statements are not legally binding, and the latest one does not mention Russia by name.
