Russia blocked a UN Security Council resolution condemning the annexation by using its veto power. India and China, who chose to abstain, have called for a negotiated way out of the war.

Noone should have Veto right in any council or unity
Why UN not voting on dismiss NATO? then Russia will leave Ukraine.
So India and China abstain. Would they also abstain if Pakistan annexed all of Kashmir and put troops and weapons there? Would India expect the rest of the world to idly stand by if China invaded India unprovoked and then declare they had annexed 15% of India’s territory? If Russia had captured the Indian students in Ukraine early on in the invasion and then tortured and killed them, would India still think Russia should not be condemned?
Pakistan will be disappear from map of pakistan try that !
The UN may as well disband, if a single veto can prevent action, then no meaningful action will ever be decided.
4 naive nations and one imperialist.
It stands to say that any member nation that holds veto power in the UN Security Council and pretty much do whatever they want to whomever they want with fear of reprimand, consequence or scolding. Glad this system works for everyone. Where do I sign up?
If UN and US are not in the direction of letting Ukraine to have the peace talk with Russia, the entire Europe will be in fire next year. The rest of the world said Peace talk!!!! WW3 will be white people killing white people war. The rest of world will focuse on recovering their economic from Covid while white race is dying from cold weather and war.
More like handed over to Albania to rubber stamp. Shoutout to Gabon. 🇬🇦
China
Grow a pair and support Russia
Why not just boot Russia out of un
UN had hidden and ignored 1000+ Years Of Global Western Colonial Atrocities
Any proof ?
@Sheldon Cooper goes without saying really and everyone already knows.
Most of usa is made from annexing just as isreal in West Bank and India in hyderabad
This if not right !!! Russia is acting as a real terrorist country and should be remove from the security council .
Those people don’t care about what is right for the people this is just about money and their interest 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Russia wouldnt beat Ukraine even if it used nuclear weapons, the response from NATO would be swift. The russian soldiers are incompetent and Putin is becoming the subject of ridicule throughout the world. What a joke russia is becoming, its myth of strength being exposed as the lie it is. Not only will russia lose the way against ukraine but its economy will go into freefall and Putin will be overthrown. The clock ticks, and very shortly Putin will be dead.
UN is the most useless organisation in history.
So basically the UN security council is nothing more than a big kitty without claws. No wonder Trump wanted to pull out of it. What a f@cking joke.
I think India have shown they’re true colours here. Shocking
its us who is showing true colours
Seems UN is absolete and does not justify it’s existance anymore
obvious ly India needs oil from Russia.
Ffs listen to Russia they have a lot to say
Really can’t see the point of the UN, it’s totally useless.
The United Nations is a joke…. Seriously.
The US is talking About safety and security?? Loooooooool
😁😁😁😁😁😁 what a show!!!
lmao UN is a joke
Despite protesting the US historical invasions, right now in THIS moment China and India are supporting a war of aggression. By using their votes to placate and pacify Russia, they are SUPPORTING A WAR. There is no debate about history or the west here. China and India are supporting WAR.
Veto system need to be abolished for peace on earth. Until it is done UN is just a puppet assembly.
India blows
The most well funded pta group
Silence on Israel
The World needs Russia off the UN Security Council. Then they could show some real veto restraint.
Send all Indians in USA to Russia
The whole United Nations must be dissolved
India is as bad as Russia
Why does the UN security council have these “rogue” states as permanent members and with vetoe powers?? India should be ashamed of herself for “killing” innocent Ukrainians for cheaper oil.
Uraa
Considering that both China and Russia use their veto powers on such a regular basis, mostly because they are the aggressors, is there any point to these meetings. India as usual sits on the fence, thus giving silent approval, while others are in the pockets of the Kremlin. This is like a murderer in the dock being able to block his own sentence – Ridiculous.
watch the whole video russia is on the right side
Of course russia is going to go against itself.What a stupid waste of time
India, China and Russia is turning UN into Circus 🤣😂
they know that resolution is just nothing but words and paper.
US ambassador talking about invasions LMAO
Rusia canot vetoed
Rusia is mad n recalcitrant
What for afraid of rusia.just break war with rusia.
UN is totally useless, what a waste of money and waste of time. Russia vetoed the vote, and thats it. Russia should be booted out all world affairs, but NO, we, sorry Politics always overrides justice. Toothless, useless entity
Pathetic.pointless. Useless.
Make a new UN, excluding Russia. Seems simple enough 🎉
Russia❤
This is a joke. The UN is a joke.
Russia should be thrown out of the U-N. China should have been thrown out for bringing death to the world. Sad to see India groveling to their puppet masters.
It is useless 😪
UN complete useless,
The UN is utterly useless! Waste of time, money and resources
Abolish the UN
russia needs to be permenately kicked out of the un security council
The spirit of the UN was great idea. Now it’s just a series of speeches. They should just shut it down.
Russia should not have a say in anything to do with Ukraine as they are the problem and started the war
Good for Russia! Get rid of France & the UK and replace them with India & Brazil on the five permanent members of the UN. Time for the UN to enter the modern world!
India seems to be pro Russia recently. They should be sanctioned
A 3 way for WW3? Now that would be interesting.
Rissia will propose the annexation of India and China in the future. India and China responds: blah blah logic, blah blah morals, bhal we abstain from vote.
Un is so useless
I will let china invade India
This whole Russian invasion did just expose how pathetic UN is
UN is useless as F, you can eject if a member is causing the problem
Disband the dumb F UN
United Nation Security Council = paper tiger
They need to create a new UN without the veto. UN is totally useless and countries should stop paying for it
Moskva delenda est.
Putin has tried to establish the truth. America and european have Killed innocent people in the Iraq and Lebanon and Syria and Afghanistan. You don’t think you are innocent. America and european want to sell arms in the world. They want to make war in the world. America and european have not other business.
F the Russian federation!
Shameful on India,they call themselves a democratic country and part of the commonwealth of friendly nations?and by not supporting the UN draft they are basically not condemning Putin Russian sham undemocratic actions who are acting like a Pariah Terrorist regime state.
Cannot understand why Russia cannot be expelled for their invasion of Ukraine and for the blatant war crimes and bombing of innocent civilians they have committed
Ban Russia from even being there silly c*nts
Wow! Didn’t see that one coming 😮😮😮
UN is the dumpest thing so far this year
UN a joke
Having Russia on the security council is like having a serial killer living in your house and you are sleeping with your bedroom door unlocked.
The parties in question should have no votes recognized by any organization.
Law must be agreement between you and me or called social contract.
why are they even allowed at the table?
The UN running out of its usefulness.
Funny that Russia is portrayed as a Big Bad Guy in UN.
Flashback to the spring of 2003, why were USA and UK not held up as two Big Bad Rascals for launching the illegitimate invasion of Iraq?
Double-standards?
Over 50 countries condemned the invasion
I have a way out of the war for Russia. Leave all of Ukraine all of it. Don’t come back. The UN security council is a joke and always has been a joke!!
Copied from a reply I made elsewhere, because I think a lot of people don’t get it.
“The UN has tried to account for something the League of Nations never did: differences in power. The power of veto is given to nations with overwhelming power to enact their own interests, not necessarily to the exclusion of everyone else but such that if the point were pushed hard enough, the result would be disastrous.
The point isn’t to determine what is moral or ethical. The point is to provide a diplomatic forum to mitigate the scope of any future war as far as possible by making it clear where the power already lies, unlike the world wars where surprise alliances and betrayals played a major role in the devastation.
Should there be a special committee to determine the ethics of existing actions? Maybe. Maybe I am overlooking one that already exists. But that is not the purpose of the security council, it simply indicates where the chips lie.”
This just shows once again how big of a Joke the UN is….
I say pound Russia into the ground for the attack on ukrainian soverity,and break them to the point they cannot wage war. Putin screwed his own peoples lives on a Hitler themed move. The people of this planet have seen and lived though this game before.
Why is there no policy in the UN that if the subject of discussion is part of the council, it should abstain from voting. what’s the use of this session if it’s only gonna be vetoed all the time. UN is useless tbh.
Ahh more useless UN drivel. UN is pointless
Why dual faced USA is not talking about Israeli invasion?
T😂😂😂😂 only people ever to drop nuclear weapons on civilians was the usa in Japan, now they wanna tell other countries whom never used nukes on civilians. Hypercritical.
This American,black woman must stf ,Go Russia,India ,China …Filipino supporter here
China is watching, if this had gone well for Putin Taiwan would be at war right now.
Where possible I will no longer be buying products or services from India and China, who have subverted sanctions on Russia, and been enablers for Russia to continue it’s war, and the more other people do the same thing the better.
The UN need to ban Russia from its Council for as long as they are fighting in Ukraine. They are really not a Human Rights organization therefore they shouldn’t be on the Council in the first place.
Jokesters
Telling the world about Zelensky: “He’s like Winston Churchill”
Telling India about Putin:
“He’s like Winston Churchill”
no veto for a permanent member when it is involved in the resolution….. 2 veto’s are needed to prevent an resolution. a veto vote is just like in an dictatorchip……1 man or woman can decide what can and what can’t be done……..just the same …….
The UN needs to be disbanned and defunded, it is a totally useless organization
