The U.N. General Assembly voted by a wide margin to adopt a U.S.-sponsored resolution condemning Russia’s announced annexation of Ukraine’s Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions.
Though Wednesday's 143-5 vote, with 35 abstentions, is not legally binding, it sent the international community's strongest signal so far that there is broad support for Ukraine in the wake of Russia's military invasion on Feb. 24 and attempts to illegally annex the four regions of Ukraine last month.
