U.N. demands Russia reverse Ukraine annexations, India abstains from vote

The Hindu  

The U. N. General Assembly voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to condemn Russia’s “attempted illegal annexation” of four Ukrainian regions and demand its immediate reversal, a sign of strong global opposition to the seven-month war and Moscow’s attempt to grab its neighbour’s territory. U. S. envoy Thomas-Greenfield told the assembly before the vote that when the United Nations was established on the ashes of World War II it was built on an idea — “that never again would one country be allowed to take another’s territory by force.” Afterward, she told reporters the vote means “that in the eyes of the world and the United Nations, Ukraine's borders remain the same." Russia responds Russia’s U. N. ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, had appealed to countries to vote against the resolution, calling it “a politicised and openly provocative document” and denouncing its sponsors as “unscrupulous Western blackmailers”. Syrian Ambassador Bassam Sabbagh accused the General Assembly of “being manipulated flagrantly by some Western countries for their own geopolitical interests” and urged countries to oppose efforts “to isolate Russia and to employ double standards".
