- UN Security Council convened Monday as officials warned Russia's war in Ukraine has reached its deadliest point since the 2022 full-scale invasion
- Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for political affairs, briefed Council members, noting recent months produced some of the conflict's most extensive aerial attacks
- The humanitarian toll on civilians continues to mount on both sides of the front line, according to DiCarlo's briefing
Why it matters: By declaring the war at its deadliest point since 2022 — with extensive aerial attacks and civilian casualties rising on both sides — the UN sharpens diplomatic pressure on Council members to pursue humanitarian or political responses to the escalation.
