An overwhelming majority of countries at the United Nations castigated Russia on Wednesday over its claims to have annexed Ukrainian territory. 5 countries voted against the resolution: Russia, North Korea, Syria, Belarus and Nicaragua.
A majority of countries in every region — the Americas, Asia, Africa and Europe — voted to condemn Russia’s actions, but more than three dozen countries abstained or did not vote.
“Russia has failed on the battlefield and failed at the U.N.,” the U.K.’s Ambassador Barbara Woodward said in a statement. Russia recently vetoed a similar U.N. Security Council resolution, leading its opponents to move the matter to the larger General Assembly, where the Kremlin wields no veto. “By introducing this draft, Western states are pursuing their own geopolitical goals and are once again trying to use the members of the General Assembly as bit players,” Nebenzia said.
