on the continuing - unprovoked and unjust - aggression war waged against Ukraine by the Russian Federation:

we return note that Russia's aggression war against sovereign Ukraine, is a flagrant violation of international law, including the UN Charter;

On February 24, 2022, twelve million Ukrainians were forced to leave their homes, and more than five million were forced to leave the country;

we refer to a series of reports by human rights organizations and international monitoring missions on atrocities committed by Russian military forces against Ukrainian civilians, including torture, rape, murder and mass detention of civilians in so-called "filtration centers," as well as mass deportations;

highlight the immoral and illegal nature of Russia's chosen tactics, the widespread use of extremely cruel, imprecise weapons that maim and cause particular suffering. Russia using this type of munitions violates international norms. Russian forces
in Ukraine are using internationally banned cluster munitions to sow fear and kill civilians en masse;

and radiological, resulting from international conventions,

call Russian Federation to immediately withdraw its armed forces
and any other unauthorized personnel from the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant,
its immediate surroundings and Ukraine as a whole;

and unjustified aggression war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. The Russian Federation must immediately withdraw its troops from Ukraine's internationally recognized borders and respect Ukraine's territory and sovereignty.
