51 UN States Urge Russia to Accept Ceasefire as Strikes Kill Two in Ukraine

Fifty-one UN member states issued a joint statement backing Ukraine, demanding an immediate ceasefire, return of civilians, and protection of Black Sea navigation. The appeal follows a Russian missile and drone barrage that killed at least two and injured over 40 across Ukraine, underscoring continued escalation despite diplomatic pressure. The statement signals broad international alignment but lacks enforcement mechanisms, leaving the ceasefire call largely symbolic.
