The UN is stressing that any peace effort or deal must be consistent with the principles of the UN Charter, including respect for Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty and territorial integrity.<\/p>\n
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, UN Spokesperson St\u00e9phane Dujarric welcomed \u201cdialogue at the highest level\u201d between the two permanent members of the Security Council.<\/p>\n
The meeting is scheduled to take place in Alaska at 11 AM local time (3 PM in New York). The northern US state is separated from the mainland by Canada, while Russia lies just to the west across the Bering Strait and the International Date Line.<\/p>\n
Mr. Dujarric reaffirmed that the \u201c[UN\u2019s] position regarding the war in Ukraine remains the same.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want an immediate, full and unconditional ceasefire as a first step towards finding a just and sustainable and comprehensive peace<\/strong>, one that upholds Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty, its territorial integrity and independence within internationally recognized border and in line with UN Charter, international law and all relevant UN resolutions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\nAsked about reports that the United States and Russia would meet without Ukraine at the table, Mr. Dujarric recalled the UN\u2019s principled view that, to reach a durable settlement, \u201cit\u2019s helpful to have all the parties of the conflict at the table, the same table.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll obviously be watching what happens, and we\u2019re watching what comes out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The summit takes place against a backdrop of worsening humanitarian conditions. According to the UN relief coordination office, OCHA, hostilities continue to exact a heavy civilian toll, destroying homes and infrastructure, forcing thousands more to flee.<\/p>\n
Between Monday and Wednesday alone, over 6,000 people evacuated their high-risk communities near frontlines in the Donetsk region, either through organized evacuations or of their own volition.<\/p>\n
The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine reported this week that July saw the highest monthly civilian casualty toll since May 2022, with 286 people killed and 1,388 injured.<\/p>\n
Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the rights mission has documented the deaths of at least 13,883 civilians, including 726 children, and 35,548 injured, including 2,234 children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
