UNITED NATIONS (AN) — By an overwhelming majority, the U.N. General Assembly approved a resolution on Thursday that blamed Russia for Ukraine's humanitarian crisis and demanded civilian protections and an immediate cease-fire.
The 140-5 vote in the 193-nation assembly demonstrated the fault lines over Russia's isolation, which was one of the main goals of the resolution, with most of the West supporting the measure but as many as 38 nations, including China, India, Iran and South Africa, abstaining.
