The UN Security Council (UNSC) on Sunday adopted Resolution 2623 that calls for an "emergency special session" of the UN General Assembly to consider and recommend collective action on Russia´s attack on Ukraine, reported Xinhua.

Russia on Thursday morning started military attacks on Ukraine.

It is the first such a resolution that the council has adopted in four decades, according to the Security Council Report.

The UNSC on Friday failed to adopt a draft resolution on Ukraine.
