A representative of the Kyiv parliament, Iryna Konstankevich, said that other countries that are considered friends of Russia, such as Kazakhstan, Armenia, India, and Brazil, also voted for the resolution. Russia’s traditional allies, such as Belarus, North Korea, Nicaragua and Syria, voted against the text.

Russia “failed in its attempt to remove the mention of Russian aggression against Ukraine,” Ukraine’s ambassador to the UN Serhiy Kislitya wrote on Twitter.

The resolution promoted by the Western powers was not focused on the Russian-Ukrainian war, its subject was cooperation between the UN and the Council of Europe. Thus, the paragraph of the text refers to “unprecedented challenges that Europe is currently facing after the aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, and earlier against Georgia, as well as after the termination of the membership of the Russian Federation in the Council of Europe.” “.
