U.N. Demands Russia Immediately Return Europe’s Biggest Nuclear Plant to Ukraine

UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. General Assembly adopted a resolution Thursday demanding that Russia urgently withdraw its military and personnel from Europe’s largest nuclear power plant and immediately return the facility to Ukraine. The resolution also reiterates the assembly’s demands for Russia to immediately “cease its aggression against Ukraine” and withdraw all troops, and again reaffirms the 193-member world body’s commitment to Ukraine’s “sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity.” [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] The resolution was approved by a vote of 99-9 with 60 countries abstaining and 25 countries not voting.
