Armenia was among the countries that abstained during a voting on a resolution at the UN General Assembly on the war in Ukraine.

The draft resolution “Advancing a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in Ukraine,” proposed by Ukraine and co-sponsored by a host of European countries, was a three-page document that included clauses noting that “the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation has persisted for three years and continues to have devastating and long-lasting consequences not only for Ukraine, but also for other regions and global stability.”

It called for a commitment to “the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognised borders” and the need to ensure accountability for crimes committed under international law, through “fair and independent investigations and prosecutions at national and international level”.

The resolution was voted in favor by 93 countries, against by 18, and abstained by 65 countries, including Armenia.
