In a vote of 94-14 with 73 abstentions, the UN General Assembly has called for Russia to be held accountable for invading Ukraine, including by paying reparations.

This is the lowest level of support of the five Ukraine-related resolutions adopted by the General Assembly since Russia’s invasion.

The resolution recognises the need to establish “an international mechanism for reparation for damage, loss or injury'” arising from Russia’s “wrongful acts” against Ukraine. It recommends that the assembly’s member nations, in co-operation with Ukraine, create “an international register” to document claims and information on damage, loss or injury to Ukrainians and the government caused by Russia.

The resolution adds Russia “must bear the legal consequences of all its internationally wrongful acts,” including those resulting in “the occupation of parts of Ukrainian territory.” It demands an immediate end to the “illegal occupation” and use of force against Ukraine.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
