The Ukraine president had imposed curfew in Kyiv and declared martial law as Russian forces began shelling Ukraine. News agency AFP reported that fighting is underway on the outskirts of the capital as people took to underground shelters.

Meanwhile, the draft UNSC resolution apart from authorising force has asked Moscow to immediately, completely, and unconditionally withdraw all its military forces from the territory of Ukraine. It also condemned the Russian aggression against Ukraine in the strongest terms.

The UNSC resolution, which shall be put to vote today in New York, reaffirms its commitment to the sovereignty, independence, unity, and territorial integrity of Ukraine and calls Russian aggression a breach of international peace and security.

The draft resolution, which will be worked and negotiated upon by UNSC members before vote, calls for an immediate cessation of Russia’s use of force against Ukraine and refraining from “any further unlawful threat or use of force against any UN member state” as Putin warned other countries against interference or face “consequences as never seen before”.
