The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution regarding Ukraine

RBC-Ukraine explains the significance of this resolution, the behind-the-scenes struggle surrounding it, and how it is connected to the warming of relations between the USA and Russia, particularly regarding Ukraine, which has been observed recently.

The UN General Assembly adopted the resolution demanding that Russia immediately withdraw its troops from Ukraine with 93 votes in favor. 18 countries voted against, and 65 countries abstained.

Among those who voted against were the USA, Russia, Hungary, and Israel. Meanwhile, China abstained.

The resolution titled "Promoting a Comprehensive, Just, and Lasting Peace in Ukraine" was submitted by Ukraine along with more than 50 countries, including the majority of European nations.

Additionally, the General Assembly supported the US-submitted draft resolution on Ukraine with 89 votes in favor. The initial text did not mention Russia as an aggressor and did not include a call for Russia to withdraw its troops from occupied territories.

However, the General Assembly amended the text of the American resolution, replacing the words "conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine" with "full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine."

After such amendments, there were enough votes in the hall for the amended American resolution. Meanwhile, Russia voted against, and the USA abstained.
