Mexico's UN ambassador Juan Ramon De La Fuente Ramirez listens as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addresses a UN Security Council meeting at the UN Headquarters to discuss the conflict in Ukraine on September 27, 2022. "The United Nations remains fully committed to the sovereignty, unity, independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine, within its internationally recognized borders," Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo told a meeting of the UN Security Council. Addressing the meeting by video link, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky once more denounced the ballots hastily organized in Russian-occupied regions -- Donetsk and Lugansk in the east and Kherson and Zaporizhzhia in the south. In spite of Zelensky's appeals, there is no chance of the Security Council -- where Russia holds a veto -- reaching a united stance on the annexation move. The UN General Assembly -- which brings together the body's 193 member states and where none has a veto, has already adopted several resolutions condemning Russia's war in Ukraine.
