The 193-member body issued its most staunch support for Ukraine yet during Wednesday's vote, which saw 143 nations condemn Russia's actions...Only five countries voted against the resolution, one of which was Russia itself. North Korea, Belarus, Syria, and Nicaragua — all led by dictator-like regimes — joined the increasingly isolated nation...Several nations that had previously abstained from or not voted on the prior resolutions joined the majority on Wednesday to vote "yes," including Bangladesh, Morocco, and Iraq. Among the additional surprises were Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Thirty-five countries, including China, India, South Africa and Pakistan, abstained.
I noticed that those 143 were sending money, tanks, planes, munitions, etc. to Ukraine too.
Not.
UN has long been a worthless entity.
Among the 35 countries that abstained, 19 were from Africa, including South Africa. China and India, the world’s two most populous countries, also abstained along with Pakistan and Cuba.
Looks like Africa knows who the hegemons are...
Belarus and Syria are puppets of Russia.
And North Korea and Nicaragua probably voted that way, not because they like Russia but just to stick a finger in the West's eye.
When is the UN going to declare war on Russia then?
50 of those 143 are sending weapons or aid.
Remind me again how relevant the UN and what it thinks, decides, demands, etc. is?
Take that Putin!
The US and pro-Ukrainian pundits are trumpeting a UN vote.
On other days, they just ignores them:

It is weird to be "on their side.."
but it's weirder to back hunter biden's ukranien force of evil.
Get the U.S. out of the UN
Only the Clintoonistas at the Business Insider would worry about the five who voted not to condemn. They’re too ignorant to understand that it’s the 35 that abstained that you have to worry about.
