the united nations general assembly has voted overwhelmingly in favor of a resolution quoting on russia to withdraw from ukraine, the west ukraine, and the e. you wanted a strong show of unity against russia on the anniversary of the invasion. but some key nations abstained as she hamper tansy reports. this non binding resolution was based on a fundamental principle of the un charter. it is against international law for one member state to invade another ukraine and the you wanted as many member states as possible to vote in favor of their drove a new from recent history that anything more strongly worded would lose support. and the strategy paid off with 141 of the 193 members of the un general assembly voting in favor 7 voting against. and 32 abstaining. the message is clear. it doesn't matter what russia thrice and how it attempts to undermine international order. and the coalition in support of ukraine still,

tauriel integrity. it fails. these $141.00 countries reiterated a clear demand to russia, withdraw. withdraw immediately, completely and unconditionally, from ukraine's internationally recognized territory. as expected, several key no line countries abstained, including china sat africa and india. they argued that a resolution that sought to contribute to a lasting peace in the region should focus on achieving a cease for immediate peace talks and addressing the geo political concerns that lead to the conflict and the 1st place, chow watts. since the court on king boosting or even enlarging military blocks, lonely, undermine regional security and drive peace further away. the final settlement allow crane crisis hinges on abandoning the cold war mentality in giving direction to and respecting the reasonable security concerns of all countries. while we take note of the stated objectives of today's resolution,

given its inherent limitations in reaching our desired goal of securing lasting peace, we are constrained to abstain. and even though several northern line countries like my jury and in an easier did vote for the resolution, they'd register their reservations criticizing it for not promoting stalks and conflict resolution. ukraine, the e u and the u. s. can once again say that i'm a georgie of nations at the un general assembly house voted against the russian invasion, even if finding unity on more punitive actions against moscow has proved more elusive shebra times the al jazeera, the united nations. now china is expected to unveil to plan to end the war on ukraine, on friday, ukrainian president, florida mids lensky has been hosting spanish prime minister pedro sanchez and kids at a press conference after they talk finance. he said he's cautiously optimistic about the chinese piece plan. the deployment young to watch the filament that i've not seen the document. it's too early to make a diagnosis. i think that in general,

the fact that china started talking about peace in ukraine. i think that's not bad . it's important for us that all states are on our side on the side of justice, but the fact that china is already talking about it. this is some kind of 1st step . this is not bad at all. we'll jump to conclusions after seeing specifically what they offer. now sama been java has more from moscow. well, it is well kept secret because john has been talking about this piece plan for the last few days, but it hasn't unveiled it as yet. this morning we've heard from the russian foreign ministry that it was not part of the discussions between china's top tip them out and the russian foreign minister. but it does not rule out that better. this plan has been given to both capital, moscow and key for them to have a reaction ready before china and build that. but this is where china wants to be a, an arbiter which sits in the middle and tries to negotiate between these 2 sides, which remain far apart,

but it comes to how to end. the war. lost an 80 year of war. he has the current situation on the ground. russia controls much of the territory east of that in the pro river, but a ukrainian counter offensive and the water reclaimed small of land in the north and south, including the key city of care song. now, the front line is on the city of most which president lensky says, has been turned to ruins by the russian offensive. now, members, in support of the russian communist party had been laying flooring tribute to the tune of the unknown soldier in moscow to mark the annual defender of the fatherland day. the holiday celebrates the formation of the red army in 1918 as compulsory military service for most russian men. this year's event is even more high profile due to the war in ukraine. and russia says it's fully reopened. it's bridge to the next crime in peninsula. moscow uses its road and rail to deliver troops and supplies to the front line and ukraine in 19 kilometer bridge was bomb last october . in an attack, russia blamed on ukrainian military intelligence. cave had never claimed

responsibility for the bombing. now ukraine central bankers issued a special bank note to mark the 1st anniversary, the 25th near note, which is worth about half of us dollar to fix 3 soldiers raising the country's flag . the back of the note shows 2 hands tied with tape, a reference to the civilian victims discovered near boucher, the head of the central bank said the no, it's a visual record of ukraine's resistance. and so green sues during this year. ukrainians have realized their force, their significance, their ability not only to withstand, but also to win, to win without forgiving a single military crime, a single ruined house. this victory will be at a very high price, but it will happen and it will be ours. now hundreds of people have attended a vigil for you quite in trafalgar square in london or challenge was there for us. it is easy to be somewhat dismissive, events like this and say that they are on the symbolic. yes, they often bollock,

but they all symbolic of something that is tangible and real because without the support of western countries like the u. k, it's arguable that ukraine might not have been able to resist the onslaught of the russian invasion. so what do events like this represents? well, they represent the millions, if you read refugees, dispersed around europe and all those people who welcomed them into their homes that represents all that fundraising and donation is done by normal people. it represents the diplomatic efforts and support of western governments. it represents the military 8th as being flowing into ukraine, keeping ukrainian guns firing, and it's representing the intelligence that allows the ukrainians to offer you the one step ahead of what the russian military is doing. so when people come to events like this, when they perhaps poor pain in the colors of the ukrainian flag on the street in

front of rushes embassy in london, somebody else that happened on that they didn't, these things get notice by you, right in. so you feel like they're not alone that they have support. i'm one of the ra parts of the world, like bits of the global south that are more sympathetic for the russian course. the west certainly isn't, and it continues to stand by ukraine. to other news now and police in my jury say attack of who killed the senate candidates from the opposition? labor party targeted 3 political parties on wednesday, bottle, you will trickle was shot dead in southeast and a new state one. returning home from a campaign rally, please say suspected separatist carried out simultaneous attacks on 3 parties on wednesday, killing several people. it's the latest incident in a spate of violence ahead of fat today's election. how do we also has a more from a new go? this way the man was running for senator was killed on wednesday night, as conway was traveling along this road. when it got to this area,

this market is usually busy at this time of the day. a lot more people would be looking for good deals and bothers, but it's quiet because the shortages of cash banks often run out and that's effectively everyday life. in a geron president mohammed, uber, harry is serving his 2nd and last term. many nigerians have waiver takes over from him, will quickly turn around the economy and resolve lingering conflicts, harder matessa al jazeera integral nigeria. now billamore mccarty as senior fellow at the tony blair institute for global change, he says the security situation in line syria has never been so unstable that our city may, jo, i'm groups in the country that are operating one in the south is where this happened when in the northwest and the north central, which is a criminal gang. no. can you call bonded that has an estimated 30000 men and have been killing people. they have killed over $10000.00 people over the past 10 years
