I hope Ukraine are taking notes on these countries that support the russian human rights violations, and the spineless countries abstaining.

Who gives a shit?

Seeing the number of countries abstaining and voting against, this was not a shining day for humanity. We have to admit that this planet is still largely occupied by primitive primates.
