UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) – The 193-member U.N. General Assembly overwhelmingly demanded aid access and civilian protection in Ukraine on Thursday and criticized Russia for creating a “dire” humanitarian situation after Moscow invaded its neighbor one month ago.
The resolution, drafted by Ukraine and allies, received 140 votes in favor and 5 votes against – Russia, Syria, North Korean, Eritrea and Belarus – while 38 countries abstained.
