UN Security Council Set to Discuss War Impact as Ukraine Marks Freedom Day

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybily announced that the United Nations Security Council will convene on the Independence Day to assess the humanitarian and economic fallout of the ongoing conflict. The agenda will focus on Russia’s missile and drone strikes that have caused civilian casualties, recent attacks on a shopping mall in Kryvyi Rih that left 16 dead and over 130 injured, and the broader implications for global food security caused by disruptions at Ukrainian ports.
