The Philadelphia City Council voted against a symbolic resolution calling for a no-fly zone over humanitarian corridors in Ukraine on Thursday.

The resolution proposed by Councilmember David Oh, which would urge the United States to work with its NATO partners to take the step toward protecting civilians escaping Russia’s invasion, was rejected in a roll call vote, with six members in favor of the measure and eight members against.
