United Nations Bans Staff From Using Words ‘War’ And ‘Invasion’ Regarding Ukraine
It further banned staff from adding the Ukrainian flag to social media profiles or websites, something that has become a common expression of solidarity with the country since it was invaded on February 24th.
United Nations has banned its staff from referring to the situation in Ukraine as a “war” or “invasion”, in a move to balance political sensitivities as Russia opposed the use of those words. Staff have instead been instructed to use the words “conflict” or “military offensive” to describe Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has killed hundreds of civilians and forced millions to flee the country.
