UN General Assembly adopts resolution, condemning and overwhelmingly rejecting Russia's 'illegal annexation' of Ukraine's Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions
Russia, Venezuela, North Korea, Belarus and Syria voted against the resolution, while 33 abstained, among them, were China and India.
Wednesday's vote in the 193-member world body was 143-5 with 35 abstentions, the strongest support from the General Assembly for Ukraine and against Russia of the four resolutions it has approved since Russian troops attacked their smaller neighbour on February 24. The more powerful UN Security Council, whose resolutions are legally binding, has been stymied from taking action on Ukraine because of Russia's veto power which it used on September 29 to block condemnation of Russia's illegal attempts to annex Ukrainian territory.
