Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi on Thursday called for global efforts to make Russia withdraw from Ukraine, saying a "terrible precedent" should not be set after nearly a year of war in the country. I would call it an unjust peace," Hayashi told a U.N. General Assembly emergency session on the Ukraine war. It would set a terrible precedent for the rest of the planet," Hayashi said at the U.N. headquarters in New York, a day before the first anniversary of Russia's invasion. The resolution was adopted at an emergency special session of the deliberative organ of the United Nations. Speaking on Wednesday, Russia's ambassador to the United Nations, Vassily Nebenzia, called the resolution "anti-Russian and malevolent by nature."
