UNITED NATIONS (AN) — The U.N. General Assembly condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine in a 141-5 vote on Wednesday and demanded that Russian forces immediately halt their deadly offensive on key Ukrainian cities and ports.
Only Russia along with Belarus, Eritrea, North Korea and Syria voted against the nonbinding resolution, which carries moral weight even if it cannot force Russia to withdraw from Ukraine. Thirty-five nations, notably including China, India, Pakistan, South Africa and Vietnam, abstained from the vote.
