UN to vote on resolution calling for peace in Ukraine - BBC News

The United Nations General Assembly is to vote later today on a special resolution about the Ukraine-Russia conflict.

The motion calls for Russia to withdraw from all Ukrainian territory, and for hostilities to end.

Major powers like India and South Africa have abstained on similar votes previously, while Russia's allies oppose it.

The vote will take place at the UN General Assembly, and has no legal standing, but is considered to be an important measure of international opinion.
