The resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly condemning Russia's illegal attempts to annex the occupied territories of Ukraine is a clear message to Moscow. This is said in a statement of U.S. President Joe Biden on the UN resolution entitled “Territorial integrity of Ukraine: defending the principles of the Charter of the United Nations." “Today, the overwhelming majority of the world—nations from every region, large and small, representing a wide array of ideologies and governments – voted to defend the United Nations Charter and condemn Russia’s illegal attempt to annex Ukrainian territory by force. The stakes of this conflict are clear to all—and the world has sent a clear message in response: Russia cannot erase a sovereign state from the map. Russia cannot change borders by force. Russia cannot seize another country’s territory as its own. Ukraine is entitled to the same rights as every other sovereign country. It must be able to choose its own future, and its people must be able to live peacefully inside its internationally recognized borders,” the statement says.
