AMMAN — Jordan on Thursday expressed apprehension over the developments in Ukraine and called for de-escalation. 

According to a Foreign Ministry statement, the Kingdom urged the international community and the related parties to spare no effort to promote restraint and de-escalation. 

The statement also called for a peaceful settlement of the conflict through dialogue to restore security and stability in the region during this "critical" moment.

Addressing the UN General Assembly session, held late Wednesday to discuss the "situation in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine”, Jordan’s Permanent Representative to the UN Mahmoud Hmoud said that "Jordan underscores the positive and effective role of the UN and the stakeholders to reach that goal". 

The envoy also emphasised the Kingdom’s stances towards respecting international law, the UN Charter, the sovereignty and regional integrity of states and the principles of good neighbourliness.
