Only 54 Out of 193 UN Member States Joined the Anti-Russian Declaration

Less than one-third of UN member states have joined the anti-Russian declaration regarding the situation in Ukraine, which was announced yesterday at the organization’s headquarters.

The UN has 193 member countries. The declaration has been signed by 54 states, including the United States, Great Britain, Albania, Australia, Canada, the Czech Republic, Georgia, France, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Italy, Spain, and Ukraine. The declaration was read by Ukraine's Permanent Representative to the UN, Serhiy Kyslytsya.

These countries expressed regret that Russia has not ceased its special military operation. They condemned the missile strikes that Russia is inflicting on Ukrainian territory.

The authors of the declaration called on Russia to immediately stop military operations.

It is noteworthy that on the morning of February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he had made the decision for a special military operation against Ukraine because the self-proclaimed Luhansk and Donetsk Peoples' Republics had requested assistance.

The military operations in Ukraine have been ongoing for 181 days.
