The United Nations General Assembly voted 141 to 5 on Wednesday in favour of a resolution condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and calling for the immediate withdrawal of its forces. Thirty-five nations abstained after the 193-member assembly convened its first emergency session since 1997. Five counties that voted against were Russia, Belarus, North Korea, Eritrea and Syria. Unusually, even Russia's staunchest allies, China, Cuba and Venezuela abstained.
