Sri Lanka

The United Nations extremely isolated Russia on Thursday, marking one year considering that Moscow got into Ukraine by calling for a comprehensive, simply and lasting peace and again requiring Moscow withdraw its troops and stop fighting.Just a day after Chinas top diplomat checked out Moscow and pledged a deeper partnership with Russia, Beijing stayed away on the vote - the 4th time it has done so on such action since Russia got into Ukraine on Feb.

24 last year.With a round of applause, the resolution was embraced on Thursday with 141 votes in favor and 32 abstentions.

Six nations joined Russia to vote no - Belarus, North Korea, Eritrea, Mali, Nicaragua and Syria.

This resolution is a powerful signal of unflagging global support for Ukraine, Ukraines President Volodymyr Zelenskiy published on Twitter after the vote.Russias Deputy U.N.

Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy dismissed the action at the United Nations as worthless, posting on Twitter: Will it bring peace? No! Will it push warmongers? Yes! Hence lengthening Ukrainian tragedy.

Russia had explained the resolution as unbalanced and anti-Russian and advised countries to vote no if it could not be amended.

Moscow ally Belarus failed in a bid to change the text with modifications including prevention of more escalation of the dispute through feeding the parties with deadly weapons.

Western powers have actually provided Ukraine with billions of dollars in weapons considering that Russia attacked.

The United States and NATO have in the previous week implicated China of thinking about providing arms to Russia and alerted Beijing versus such a move.

One year into the Ukraine crisis harsh facts use an ample proof that sending weapons will not bring peace, Chinas deputy U.N.

Ambassador Dai Bing stated ahead of the vote.

Adding fuel to the fire will just worsen tensions.

Chinas abstentions appear to show a bid to remain on the diplomatic fence over the war in Ukraine.

Beijing says the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries must be appreciated, however - in a nod to Russias worry about NATO - thinks all security concerns need to be attended to.VENEER OF NEUTRALITYChina did vote versus 2 resolutions adopted by the U.N.

General Assembly last year that took specific action - suspending Russia from the Human Rights Council and recognizing Russia should be accountable for making reparations to Ukraine.China tries to keep this veneer of neutrality, proclaiming to the world that theyre not taking a side - however theyve plainly picked a side, U.S.

State Department representative Ned Price stated on Thursday.He said China has been offering essential assistance to Russia throughout the last year, citing non-lethal assistance provided by Chinese companies connected to the state.Moscow has been trying to chip away at its global seclusion.

As Russia and the West have contended for diplomatic impact, some states - especially in the worldwide South - have actually grown worried about paying the rate for being squeezed in the middle of an intense geopolitical rivalry.

While we support the present resolutions concentrate on the concepts of the charter and international law, it certainly brings us no closer to laying the foundations for a long lasting peace and bringing and end to destruction and destruction, said South Africas U.N.

Ambassador Mathu Joyini, who abstained.Brazil elected the resolution, but its Ambassador Ronaldo Costa Filho said the time has come to open area for dialogue and to begin restoration.

The General Assembly has been the focus for U.N.

action on Ukraine, with the 15-member Security Council incapacitated due to veto power by Russia and the United States along with China, France and Britain.The Security Council has actually held lots of conferences on Ukraine in the past year and will once again go over the war on Friday at a ministerial gathering, due to be gone to by U.S.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
