Russia has vetoed a United Nations resolution urging an immediate ceasefire in Sudan amid ongoing conflict between the Sudanese army and paramilitary forces. The resolution, drafted by the United Kingdom and Sierra Leone, sought to halt hostilities and facilitate humanitarian aid. British Foreign Secretary David Lammy criticized the veto as a demonstration of Russia’s true nature, while Russia defended its position as a respect for Sudan’s sovereignty. With over 11 million people displaced and 25 million in need of aid, the humanitarian crisis intensifies.
