51 UN member states call for unconditional ceasefire in Ukraine

A coalition of 51 United Nations member states, including 27 European Union nations, has issued a joint statement calling on Russia to accept a 'full, immediate, and unconditional' ceasefire in Ukraine.

The declaration, made in New York ahead of a UN Security Council meeting, expresses deep concern over Russian attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure. The coalition highlighted that Ukraine has demonstrated readiness for such a ceasefire since March 2025 and urged Moscow to engage in meaningful diplomacy and negotiations for a just and lasting peace.

Key humanitarian and economic concerns were raised, including the demand for the unconditional return of all forcibly displaced or detained Ukrainian civilians, including children. Additionally, the group condemned Russian efforts to disrupt Ukrainian grain exports in the Black Sea, noting that such actions jeopardize global food security. The coalition emphasized the necessity of protecting commercial shipping and critical infrastructure to ensure maritime freedom of navigation.
