PH supports UN General Assembly's condemnation of Ukraine invasion
The Philippines announced it will vote yes on a United Nations General Assembly resolution condemning Russia's "unprovoked armed aggression" against Ukraine.
The Philippines delegation will call for the protection of civilians and an end to hostilities in Ukraine.
The DFA Philippines stated that while an offense can be stopped at will, the defense cannot rest until the offense stops.
This UNGA emergency session is the first to be held since 1982, prompted by Russia's veto power in the Security Council.
The resolution aims to condemn Moscow's actions and demand an immediate withdrawal of its troops.
The DFA Philippines noted that approximately 14,000 have been killed since 2014, though news reports of casualties on either side cannot be trusted.
