The declaration, drafted by Norway and Mexico stopped short of supporting a mediation effort by Antonio Guterres, as was laid out in an earlier version of the text.

“The Security Council expresses deep concern regarding the maintenance of peace and security of Ukraine,” the text adopted Friday said.

The 15-member council also “recalls that all Member States have undertaken, under the Charter of the United Nations, the obligation to settle their international disputes by peaceful means.”

The text ends by asking Guterres to submit a report to the council after the adoption of the declaration.
