Vasily Nebenzya

Here are the highlights of events related to the war in Ukraine over the past 24 hours:

143 out of 193 countries in the UN condemned the annexation of Ukrainian regions by Russia

Serbia was among the 107 countries that were in favor of public voting, writes Blic.
The General Assembly decided, by 107 votes in favor, to hold a public vote, rather than a secret ballot, on a draft resolution condemning Russia's "so-called illegal referendums" and "attempted illegal annexation".

Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya left a meeting of the World Security Council meeting on Ukraine over a statement by European Council President Charles Michel, who accused Russia of causing a global food crisis with its invasion of the neighboring country.

Russian forces emphasize that they are finishing the "liberation of Svyatogorsk and neighboring territories" in the Donetsk region.
On the other hand, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says that Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk are "dead cities".

The Bucha killings have sparked worldwide outrage, a wave of new sanctions and the expulsion of Russian diplomats.

"The Bucha killings have sparked worldwide outrage."

According to the BBC report, Polyansky said that part of Ukraine's offer to give up NATO ambitions and become a neutral country in exchange for security guarantees and freezing the status of Crimea for the next 15 years is being rejected.

How can we not think about the Cold War? Russia and the United States tore apart the UN Security Council on Monday over Russian troops gathered near Ukraine, and Western nations are threatening Russian oligarchs to make them pay for any military escalation.

The meeting was marked by a controversy between the U.S. and Russian ambassadors to the UN.

The debate erupted over a report by an organization accusing Syria of a 2017 sarin and chlorine attack.
Russia called the allegations unfounded at a closed session of the UN Security Council, while EU countries claimed responsibility for the move by the Syrian government, AP reports.

They blocked it because it did not take into account the US airstrike near the ensuing Baghdad airport that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, Russian Ambassador to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said.
