It is the first such a resolution that the council has adopted in four decades, according to the Security Council Report.
The UNSC on Friday failed to adopt a draft resolution on Ukraine.
According to the Reuters report, the Security Council is also set to meet again on Monday for a briefing on humanitarian needs of civilians in Ukraine. It will be the 5th council meeting on Ukraine in the past week.
