The United Nations Security Council failed to adopt a resolution condemning the invasion of Ukraine.
Russia vetoed the vote that would have confirmed the sovereignty of Ukraine and demanded that Russia immediately withdraw its forces.

NATO proved that Ukraine is a security issue to Russia. NATO pushed the Russia to invade. It is all fault of NATO.
All world leaders should support Ukraine 🇺🇦.. stop war Putin innocent people are dying ..
Whatba stupid idea to let the aggressor vote
Also some reports mentioning the west intend to demand Turkey or iran as a returning favor for letting Russia taking Ukraine, as a final step in the Zionist delusional project these guys believe in,1400 years of history and the fastest growing religion all over the Wold in numbers , did not teach them any thing still
is the u.n. a higher power or not
remember Iraq and Libya ?
UK, France, USA, Russia and China are untouchable in UN
India and another country abstained too.. why that not on the headline too. Biased reporting.
Because the west was waiting for Chinese veto against this resolution. It shows their win if China abstained.
Sir what about Afghanistan Iraq Syria and Libya?
US has a history of using its veto power to protect the terrorist state of Israel.
At times likes these we have to listen to what wise Kim Jong un says !
China India and UAE with Russia . Wow that throws a punch !
2.8 billion people between them, almost 40% of the world’s population. Each one has more people than the entire West put together.
What a joke
well Linda, USA Vetoed tons of voices and truth about Israeli and Palestinian , so shut up you hypocrite
What if they introduce a positive bill like Russia should continue to war and then USA,UK or France VETO that
China , India, Myanmar, Russia and Israel are enemy of the world
The invasion of Ukraine was illegal and wrong.
The invasion of Iraq was illegal and wrong.
The invasion of Palestinian lands was illegal and wrong.
Still, it’s a chillingly clear sign that the global power balance is shifting to see Russia playing the pariah role at the UN more familiar to Israel and China playing the role more familiar to the US.
@Jemar Sewell – I have my opinion, and you have yours.
@Tee Hamp British Empire. They unilaterally drew the border with Qing Dynasty, and the description was unclear leaving two different interpretations over where the boundary existed between Qing Dynasty Tibet and the British Raj. The modern People’s Republic of China and Republic of India inherited the dispute from that era.
@pineapplesareyummy oh stop it… If you and i were standing face to face.. There is NO HUMAN BEING can do or say ANYTHING to make me hit you… Stop placing blame and take responsibility for your own actions
@Tee Hamp Are you serious? You realise that successor countries inherit baggage from their colonial past. It doesn’t just magically go away. Why are there disputes between India and Pakistan, or various troubles all over Africa?
palestine invation wasn’t illigal… it still is…
so what is the result?
If UNO was a men then I would surely let it drink my pee. Useless Council🖕
I will refrain from listing out the aggression carried out by the United States in their history but you are in no place to Moralize 😅😅🤣😅 they are serving the USA bullies hot potatoes
What a disgrace and very shameful of India, China and UAE for not voting against Russia’s attack on innocent Ukrainians.
India has done the right thing by abstaining. None of the western countries have ever supported India in her fight against terrorism or any forum in the past. India’s nuclear test also met with a lot of opposition from the western world including Ukraine. India has never given false hopes to anyone. From the beginning her stance has been clear of not siding with anyone. Infact, the NATO and US wanted this war.
It is irrelevant as long as there is a Russian veto at the end
@Paul Jose true
Why not westerners said anything when china attacked india .
Yes close your mouth usa
Ambassadors please pray for donbass people also to forgive you
The UN is a joke as always. A member is waring against another member going against the very foundations of the UN – members being peace loving nation. And they can single handed stop any action against themselve.
USA tasting it’s own medicine. Still hope Russia come to senses.
The CCP is giggling in the corner after leaking a deadly virus around the world
This is why we need a new UN organization without veto power and each country’s membership is weighed as per its population, area, military, economy, and etc. etc. Otherwise, we will be perished some day because as I said before many times, there is no superpower but Allah (God).
That US speech was cringe af
Russia has been a fascist state since 1918. It’s a shame that we let it become one of the five deciding voices of the UN.
China abstaining because he is ally of Russia and in the future China gonna invade Taiwan like Russia did to Ukraine.Wake Up Russia and China.
Senator Connally [from the US delegation] dramatically tore up a copy of the Charter during one of his speeches and reminded the small states that they would be guilty of that same if they opposed the unanimity principle. ‘You may, if you wish,’ he said, ‘go home from this Conference and say that you have defeated the veto. But what will be your answer when you are asked: “Where is the Charter”?'”

Still you people have faith on these 5 bullshit countries? Still you people believe that these 5 countries will bring peace to the world.
Russia used VETO here. But US ambassador forgotten that how much time they used VETO to support apartheid state Israel.
Word
A country with most use of Veto is the US! They used it over and over to defend Israeli war crimes!
After the absolute mess the Americans left in afganistan, them saying anything to russia is hypocrisy to the max.
Don’t forget the Soviet also made a mess in Afghan 😆
@FrostedCupcake Not as big as the one the Americans left that’s for sure
@FrostedCupcake lol… Soviets didn’t create any mess… when they saw American intervention they withdrew their army….
🇨🇳+🇷🇺+🇮🇳 Brics Nation
China is the adult in the room here! Note that BOTH China and India abstained together. That’s effectively a ‘yes’ vote for Russia, because you obviously don’t abstain from condemning an invasion of another country unless you understand why it was necessary, and China here very clearly articulated that NATO/US had completely disregarded Russia’s security in their reckless enlargement of NATO and their sphere of interest, and their attempts to encircle Russia (and also China) with military bases and weapons. India’s vote should also be interpreted that India will NOT accept Western hegemony, even as it has differences itself with China.
NATO is a defense alliance … The security of Russia? Did you russian troll ever hear about something called “Iskander” that is stationed in Kaliningrad? It’s honestly quite annoying that there are so many braindead comments from trolls.
Irrelevant and outdated UN veto system. Veto system needs to be abolished. Or else no peace till when p5 country used veto for their geopolitical interests. REFORM UNSC.
No country should have veto power
Russia is not only isolated but I do not remember any other country to be in a such ridiculous situation since Nikita Khrushchev allegedly brandishes his shoe at the United Nations….In one of the most surreal moments in the history of the Cold War, Russian leader Nikita Khrushchev pounds his fist on the table, and according to some reports, removes his shoe and threatens to pound a table with it in protest against a speech critical of Soviet policy in Eastern Europe…
The UN is a joke
The same USA vetoed all bills against the Zionists
So the Russians learnt it from the Americans…
It’s funny until it Happened to you (vito)😅😅😅
This war creat US bayden regret for talk with Russia us contiouse threatening Russia’s border with Ukraine. the sad Ukrainian people cheated by America. America realy afraid Russia. America is the problem of the whole world need to be vanished from this planet very soon.
America’speaks as if they’re above reproach!what Neve!so many wars they’ve fought so many country’s invaded,so many inocent people they killed’in the name of so-called’democracy ! The un should do some house cleaning them selfs’no war is good🤔
天下一家 世界和平
We have seen this movie before Putin = Hitler, Zelenskyy = Winston Churchill: “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the new world, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.”
of course china abstained, china and russia made a deal before russia invaded. but why don’t you mention the traitorous UAE and india who also abstained?
🇮🇳🤝🇷🇺
The history of hypocricy in the UN by the so called permanent members has eroded the organization’s credibility. I am pretty that in the next 100 years or after the next world war the UN will cease to exist.
Ukraine.
Meditate for peace of you dont believe in GOD.
Waoo never heard before.
As Indian we feel bad for Ukrainian people, but not their government , because they were against India and always voted against in UNSC even When thousands of Indian soldiers died .But USSR earlier and Russia today always stood with us regardless of any situation India faced due to western powers, so technically India will always support old friend Russia 🇷🇺.
@Tee Hamp I guess you’re not only getting scammed in phone calls but also while watching videos. And for the second thing, India always reserves fighting unless all other options are exhausted unlike the most hypocrite nation in the world USA who always tries to interfere unnecessarily in other countries personal issues.
@Tee Hamp go home your white mom waiting for bbc 😆
@Tee Hamp 😂 I am watching white girls want BBC
@Tee Hamp I saw videos of USA being humiliated by Taliban.
That is a really dumb reason to support this war and I judge you and the Indians who actually liked this comment. Shame on you
I leave the gift of peace with you My peace. Not the fragile peace given by the world but My perfect peace. Don’t yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts instead be courageous. John 14:27
russia have been doing unspeakable things since middle ages. Peter the first left a letter to his successor, stating that the country has to be in a constant state of war to make it easier to rule. Russians have been involved in warfare non stop, till this day.
Lol! Propaganda at its BEST!! Put Blacks in charge!! After Blacks have Said!! ( America is Rascist!! And Systemic rasicism!! But Here They Ate DEFENDING America!! They Cant Seem to make up their MINDS
I Guest theses BLACKS!! Have Never Heard of ( AZOV Battalion nor RIGHT SECTOR!! In ukraine

@Ululu Kululu 🖕😺😺

Once the world punishes Putin for this stupid war, we need to equally punish all these puppets propelling the war without using their individual consciouses to say no… it’s time to stop letting enablers empower narcissists!
black americans working for uncle sam always make a fool of themselves “you cannot veto the truth” the same usa that lied about iraq and 911 and war in afgnaistan and every other thing
UNSC is absolutely a joke. America and Britain veto when Israel attack Palestinians and kill women and Children. China veto when Its against them and Russia uses it now. Aren’t all nations equal? So why only 5 out of 200 countries have the Veto power? And they talk about equality and freedom? Shame on all 5 of them.
La guerre drole…. Mother Russia your sons are dying, Ukrainians are fighting like Spartans…. Dies irae,dies illa,solvet saeculum,in favilla… Good luck everyone…
China and India refrain because they only need 1 veto that’s Russia. Otherwise China would have done it. Don’t make it look like india and China tried to do a good thing 💁🏽
How Many times US 🇺🇸 use vito to defend Israel to kill and massacred Falastinian people. Now you feel bad. That is ok .
How many other countries intervention have tried… Israel Palestine… they no hope .. 100 years plus those fighting over land its a miracle anyone left
Something is very very wrong with this war. Ukraine is Corrupt to the fullest, using democracy as an excuse and letting it’s people die by taking guns. Ukraine is killing its own people and blowing up there own buildings, OMG WHY DOSE NO ONE ELSE SEE THIS Ukraine devil talking is playing victim.
Where are your protests when Israel invades Palestine? Why don’t you impose sanctions on Israel then? If Russia invaded then why blame? Why do you lose your tears? Everything that Westerners do is for acting and self-interest. The Western media is basically America’s broker.
Israel Palestine 100 years or more conflict… religion and disruption.
No country has ever been able to peace time over them…
Good luck with that
Off course Russias right hand..China vetoe your voices shut your faces.. all dogs n foxes
Get rid of your comic president n peace prevails..now in trouble you ask God for help..GOD SAYS GOD HELP THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES.
We all have a past. The US has been held up a mirror to theirs over past few years but it doesn’t change TODAY. TODAY we want unity and peace and a cleaner planet. We want hands off UKRAINE who didn’t deserve this. to get rid of old ways of doing things with blood and pointless egotistical flexes of power. We don’t want anymore overwhelming reliance on the dollar. We want to be unified and be new with the internet. We have all infused inventions and ideals culture and race . You cannot be 1 man dragging the people anymore. It isn’t the old days where we will be told lies in the media believe them and not question our government and remind them we don’t need them they need us and need to listen to US. And no one will fear a dictator ever again
Semua negara dunia tidak terima donbas.crimea.doneskt lughank ini semua tidk bisa di akui..ilegal.
Pathetic and absurd China and Russia government. Lies are regular tool when they deal with outside world.
Long live Russia. Giving U.S. a taste of it’s own medicine.
China should control the world not usa
They to busy controlling child birth rates
Dreaming, Communist Only know to make Propaganda, don’t know the real war
So Russia is also current Chair. Of UN
far left liberal cultural Marxist EU, Nato and USA are the blame. Russia needed to take out the corrupt Ukraine government who is a puppet of NATO and USA.
The west needs to use their debt to china as leverage over them and make condemn Putins murderous invasion.
US, Israel, Turkey had been using force and killing civilians for years and nothing happen. They are the so called “countries of permissibility” where rules don’t applied to them. As far as Russia is concerned, they had the rights to defend their country from possible NATO invasion like in the case of US attacking Iraq “claiming” they had WMD.
Taiwan here we come
Asking someone for prayers and telling him maybe if u don’t believed in God.
I think the whole ‘veto’ concept was the most ridiculous thing ever thought of. No matter what thee vote is for
United States rep little speech didn’t make much sense.
Its the Ukrainian people who suffers!! Just because the leaders are a puppet of US and its europian counterparts !!
Shame on China, but no great surprise. “By their friends shall ye know them”
You expected otherwise? US has been criticizing, boycotting, and sanctioning China, and the west still expects China to side with them? Delusional.. there are other countries that abstained as well, why just “shame on China”? But no great surprise, because the US is a hypocrite 🙃
what truth is this simplistic lady talking about lol
Ukraine and Russia are all good friends with China, what China’s media is doing is making propaganda to find out the solution to stop the war, this is not the same as what western media have been doing.
All mainstreamed is biased
I think vast many bitter people that believe they are right until they take their last breaths …
Blood shed loss of life …..
World learnt nothing…..
All countries are guilty of war crimes from west to east…… that is truth that is fact….
We can all manipulate the parts of the story twist to how we want it to be heard…. wrong on all hands.
Illegal war crimes….
Xi and Putin are imbeciles living in our modern society. And half of their stupid population are supporting them. The whole world should isolate and abandon these to morons and their constituents….
Racist Ukrainians
US and EUROPE talking about “principles” LOL
China government is double face Evil Communist Satanist, need to keep far From them
India & UAE also abstained! why always single out Chinese?!
It’s stereotype!
Funny how countries call the USA record vs their own shameful record.
Lets cover the war in Yemen now? No?
Sounds like the eastern countries are stating facts in this council while the western are using emotions.
The whole ukraine administration looks actors and puppets of the west
