KYIV, UKRAINE — Most of the world lined up against Moscow in the United Nations on Wednesday to demand it withdraw from Ukraine, as Russian forces renewed their bombardment of the country’s second-biggest city and besieged its strategic ports.
Russia reported its military casualties for the first time since the invasion began last week, saying nearly 500 of its troops had been killed and almost 1,600 wounded. Ukraine insisted Russia’s losses were far higher but did not immediately disclose its own casualties.
The U.N. General Assembly voted to demand that Russia stop its offensive and immediately withdraw all troops, with world powers and tiny island states alike condemning Moscow. The vote was 141 to 5, with 35 abstentions. It came after the 193-member assembly convened its first emergency session since 1997.
Countries that spoke up for Russia included Belarus, Cuba, North Korea and Syria.
Assembly resolutions aren’t legally binding, but they do have clout in reflecting international opinion.
Meanwhile, Russia pounded Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city with about 1.5 million people, with another round of aerial attacks that shattered buildings and lit up the skyline with balls of fire. At least 21 people were killed and 112 injured over the past day, said Oleg Sinehubov, head of the Kharkiv regional administration.
Arestovich said several Russian planes were shot down over Kharkiv, though that could not be confirmed.
“Kharkiv today is the Stalingrad of the 21st century,” said Oleksiy Arestovich, a top presidential adviser, invoking what is considered one of the most heroic moments in Russian history, the five-month defense of the city from the Nazis during World War II.
But both sides said they were also ready to resume talks aimed at stopping the fighting, which had Ukraine under threat on multiple fronts. ...

Resident Retard and “most of the world lining up against Moscow” is the equivalent of a gutless, inane Repukelican letter of condemnation...
I’m just curious.... where were all these people from 1917-2021?
Other than ridicule us with “Russians under every bed” Taunts of “Ronny Raygun”. Movies like “The Russians are coming” showing how they were really nice after all. They destroyed McCarthy and anyone who dared stand up against the Russians. They made deals like Ted Kennedy who saw Reagan as a greater threat. They traveled to Russia at the height of the cold war like Clinton and Sanders. But now they are all in?
i was just thinking the same- Bet Old Putin is super scart of ‘the line’ of people-
The objective of Democrats is Socialism.
The objective of Socialism is Communism. - Lenin
The objective of Communism is worldwide domination................
The lefttards are digging those Ukrainian Nazis somethin’ fierce.
You forgot, “strongly worded”.
Sorry for the Russian people that they, like we or at least half of we, have such sorry politicians and dictators.
Goodby Russia from the somewhat civil world’s stage. You may be nice people but your leader is a pariah. You deserve to be ostracized from the brotherhood of man, whatever that is, you are out.
Nuclear war if you don’t get your way? That is the same as threatening to burn down the house over being made to clean your room and about as infantile.
Interesting how many Corporations cancelling Russia. That’s all well and good. What about cancelling some China?
“Russia reported its military casualties for the first time since the invasion began last week, saying nearly 500 of its troops had been killed and almost 1,600 wounded.”
Adjusting for BS, fog-of-war, and Soviet levels of propaganda then I’d put the real numbers at more like:
2,500 dead
8,000 wounded
1,500 missing in action, deserted, or captured.
“What about cancelling some China?”
China announced that they intend to circumvent Western sanctions on Russia so there’s an increasing probability that China will shortly be facing those same sanctions.
Time to dump your Chinese stocks if you have any.
“China will shortly be facing those same sanctions.”
We’ll see.
bkmk
Yes, we will see. In the interim the next time you’re at Costco or Wal Mart and you see something made in China (or overseas) that you’ve been wanting I’d say go ahead and get it before you find yourself in a sudden rush as other people start doing the same thing.
