The UN Security Council is holding an emergency session concerning Ukraine, as Secretary-General António Guterres urged ambassadors, following what Kyiv has termed the most severe attack on its capital to date, stating, “the time for peace is now.”
In the early hours of May 23-24, Russia initiated a large-scale assault involving missiles and drones targeting various Ukrainian cities. Moscow has subsequently warned of continued, sustained strikes.
Significant disagreements among Council members are anticipated. European nations are calling for an immediate ceasefire, while Russia maintains that its strikes are exclusively directed at military infrastructure.
