The United Nations will cover 75% of the annual cost of the African Union peacekeeping missions, according to the resolution, adopted by the UN Security Council on Thursday.The rest of the costs will be provided by the African Union and the troop-contributing countries, the document prepared by Ghana, Gabon and Mozambique, said.Russia supported this initiative, which, in its opinion, will contribute to peace on the continent "under the auspices of the African Union."Russian Deputy Ambassador to the UN Anna Evstigneeva said at a Security Council meeting on December 14 that her country believes in the effectiveness of the African states' efforts via regional multinational armed forces, which should remain predictably funded by the International community.With a view to promote peace on the continent, the United Nations launched several peacekeeping missions in African countries such as the Central African Republic, DRC, Mali, Western Sahara, South Sudan, and Sudan (in the disputed Abyei area).However, the DRC and Mali authorities demanded the withdrawal of the UN missions, citing their ineffectiveness.

UN Agrees to Cover 75% of African Union Peacekeeping Costs
For the first time, the African Union requested the UN to develop a mechanism for financing its peacekeeping missions in 2007. In 2018, the three African states in the UN Security Council, Gabon, Ghana, and Mozambique, submitted a draft resolution on the issue to the Security Council, which was not adopted at the time.
The United Nations will cover 75% of the annual cost of the African Union
peacekeeping missions, according to the resolution, adopted by the UN Security Council on Thursday.
The rest of the costs will be provided by the African Union and the troop-contributing countries, the document prepared by Ghana, Gabon and Mozambique, said.
Russia supported this initiative, which, in its opinion, will contribute to peace on the continent "under the auspices of the African Union."
Russian Deputy Ambassador to the UN Anna Evstigneeva said at a Security Council meeting on December 14 that
her country believes in the effectiveness of the African states' efforts via regional multinational armed forces, which should remain predictably funded by the International community.
With a view to promote peace on the continent, the United Nations launched several peacekeeping missions in African countries such as the Central African Republic, DRC, Mali, Western Sahara, South Sudan, and Sudan (in the disputed Abyei area).
However, the DRC and
Mali authorities demanded the withdrawal of the UN missions, citing their ineffectiveness.
