United Nations: Russia and US need to ease tensions on Ukraine

The United Nations called on Russia and the United States to continue to resolve differences through dialogue and reduce tensions during the condemnation of Ukraine.

“In this context, we call on all parties to continue to focus on resolving differences through dialogue at all levels, on de-escalating tensions and maintaining peace in the region,” the UN said in a statement.

The international organization reminded “all players” of their responsibility for ensuring a peaceful settlement of the conflict in Donbass in accordance with the Minsk agreements, which were approved by the UN Security Council.
