Armenia abstains from voting on anti-Russian resolution 

ArmInfo. Armenia abstained from voting in the UN General Assembly on the anti-Russian resolution on Ukraine.

The resolution was adopted on February 24 by the UN General Assembly  with the support of 93 countries.  18 countries voted against the  resolution, including the United States and Israel, and 65 states,  including Armenia, abstained. A number of countries did not  participate in the session at all, including neighboring Georgia and  Azerbaijan.

The resolution calls for de-escalation, a speedy end to hostilities  and a peaceful settlement of the war against Ukraine, marked by  enormous destruction and human suffering, including among the  civilian population, in accordance with the Charter of the United  Nations and international law. The resolution recalls the need for  full compliance with the demand for the complete and unconditional  withdrawal by Russia of all its Armed Forces from the territory of  Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders and the  immediate cessation of military actions against Ukraine.
