The United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday overwhelmingly voted for the resolution to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

UN’s 141 countries, among them Georgia, voted pro, 5 countries (Russia, Belarus, Syria, Eritrea and North Korea) – con, and 35 countries abstained, including Armenia and China.

The UN demanded that Moscow stop fighting and withdraw its military forces.
