Almost all the members were in favor when some did oppose. One hundred forty-one member countries, including the US, voted in favor whilst only five nations have opposed, who are- Russia, Belarus, Eritrea, North Korea, and Syria. Not all the members did participate in the voting as Thirty-five nations abstained from voting, including India, South Africa, and China. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres talked about it after the vote.

Secretary-General António Guterres said, ‘The message of the General Assembly is loud and clear: end hostilities in Ukraine now. Silence the guns now. Open the door to dialogue and diplomacy now. The territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine must be respected in line with the U.N. Charter.’

If the scenario keeps going in that way, this could become the largest refugee crisis in the 21^st century’s history. After the 2nd World War Europe hasn’t seen such a fast and mass migration. Almost 2% people of the whole Ukraine population has fled only within a week.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine which has led to a War has stepped into its 8th day since 24 Feb. Delegations from Russia are warning about the War as it could Spark Nuclear Catastrophe. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has warned that if a Third World War were to take place, it would be a nuclear war and he has called for global disarmament to grow for getting prepared. The warning Sergey has made a few days after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered Russia’s nuclear forces on high alert and after Russian nuclear submarines set sail for tests in waters near Norway.

On the contrary, a referendum has been approved by the voters in Belarus for opening their door for stationing Russian nuclear weapons in Belarusian territory. Also, Russia has called on the U.S. to remove its nuclear weapons from Europe’s base.
