A UN official on Friday strongly criticized the deliberate Russian presidential election in Ukrainian territories underneath Moscow’s management.
“The principle of respect for territorial integrity and the political independence of states is the cornerstone of our collective security. Any annexation of the state’s territory by another state resulting from the threat or use of force is a violation of the principles of the United Nations Charter and international law,” UN Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, Rosemary DiCarlo, informed a UN Security Council assembly on Ukraine.
Describing Russia’s elections deliberate from March 15 – 17 as “unacceptable,” DiCarlo mentioned Moscow should uphold the legal guidelines of Ukraine within the occupied territories.
“As this war is now in its third year, peace continues to elude us,” she added.
Russia will maintain a presidential election March 15 – 17, the primary three-day presidential election within the nation’s historical past, wherein President Vladimir Putin will search a fifth time period.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict, which entered its third 12 months on the finish of final month, has killed at the very least 10,500 civilians and injured greater than 19,800, in response to UN figures.
