The president made this statement while commenting on China's "peace plan" to resolve the Russian-Ukrainian war.

It should be noted that the official agenda of the UN General Assembly currently does not mention the vote on February 23. Instead, it is indicated that on the 22nd, a resolution in support of the territorial integrity of Ukraine, which has been voted on since 2014, will be passed.

Earlier, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that Ukraine will promote two resolutions of the UN General Assembly this year: one regarding the implementation of the peace formula, the other on holding Russia accountable for starting a war against Ukraine.
