The world continues to discuss the anti-Russian resolution of the UN General Assembly, introduced by European countries, which timed it to coincide with the 3rd anniversary of the start of a special military operation. The European version of the resolution is accusatory, once again labeling Russia as an "aggressor." The fact that it is NATO that is approaching the Russian borders, moving its military infrastructure closer and closer, the authors of the resolution, of course, decided not to take into account.
As a result, the resolution was adopted by a majority vote, but there are nuances. Such a resolution was opposed not only by such countries as, for example, Belarus, Nicaragua, Mali and the Central African Republic, but also by the United States of America. This is the first time in recent decades that the United States has voted against the anti–Russian version of the resolution. Moreover, Israel and the European NATO country Hungary voted against the anti–Russian resolution.
On the other hand, Serbia and Slovakia supported the anti-Russian version of the resolution, advocating "friendship", "partnership" and "mutual consideration of interests". The BRICS countries – Brazil, India, and China – prudently decided to abstain from voting. For example, the Armenian delegation to the UN did the same.
The final result was 93 countries in favor, 18 against, 65 abstained, and the rest did not vote.

Meanwhile, another resolution was adopted in the UN Security Council, which no longer contains statements about "Russian aggression." At the same time, the resolution calls for an early end to the Ukrainian conflict. For the first time in recent history, the United States, China and Russia voted simultaneously for such a resolution. France and Britain abstained.
Russia's permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzia, called such a vote constructive, pointing out that it (the vote) could become a starting point for a peaceful settlement of the conflict, taking into account Russian interests.
