The United Nations General Assembly has voted to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
It’s called for the immediate withdrawal of troops from Ukraine and a halt to all fighting.
141 nations voted in favour of the motion, with 32 abstaining and seven – including Russia – voting against.
The resolution reaffirms support for Ukraine’s “sovereignty” and “territorial integrity”.
It also rejects Russian claims to annex the parts of the country it occupies.
In September, MPs in Moscow voted to illegally annex four regions of Ukraine.
While the measure is not legally binding, it does hold political weight.
The U.N. is calling for peace as soon as possible.
China, India, Iran and South Africa were among the 32 countries to abstain.
While Russia, Belarus, North Korea and Syria were among those who voted against.
The resolution follows Latvian MP Richard Kols telling Russia exactly what he thinks of the war during a European security body session in Vienna.
Kols even speaking in Ukrainian to tell the Russian delegates to “F-off”.
And as Russia gave its response, dozens of delegates staged a walkout.
They also held a Ukrainian flag behind one of the Russian speakers as he tried to defend their participation in talks about European security.
