Prior to this, Ukrainian armed forces reported shooting down at least 24 Shahed-136 OWA-UAVs between late January and early February 2023 and scores were destroyed in the first few days of the year.

The war was condemned by most of the members of the security council in a symbolic ministers’ meeting to mark the anniversary. The Russian invasion is a blatant violation of the United Nations charter and international law. “Life is a living hell for the people of Ukraine,” Guterres told the council as it met to mark the first anniversary of Moscow’s invasion. Garfield and Chester A.The UN security council held a minute of silence Friday for victims of the war in Ukraine as the secretary general, António Guterres, said Russia’s invasion had devastated the country.
