UN urges Russia to compensate Ukraine

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has called for Russia to be held accountable for its conduct in Ukraine, voting to approve a resolution recognising it is responsible for making reparations to the war-torn Ukraine.

The resolution, supported by 94 of the assembly's 193 members, said Russia, which invaded its neighbour in February, "must bear the legal consequences of all of its internationally wrongful acts, including making reparation for the injury, including any damage, caused by such acts," reports The Canberra Times.

It recommends member states, in co-operation with Ukraine, create an international register to record evidence and claims against Russia.

UNGA resolutions are non-binding but carry political weight.
