NEW YORK, March 2 - The United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly against Russia's invasion of Ukraine, in a largely symbolic rebuke to Russian President Vladmir Putin and his supporters that is unlikely to alter the course of the war, The Wall Street Journal reported.

U.N. members voted 141 to 5 to condemn Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “special military operation” in Ukraine and affirm that no territorial gains stemming from the use of force—or threatened use of force—will be recognized as legal there. The resolution, from which 34 countries including China and India abstained, also expressed “grave concern” about attacks on civilian facilities and civilian casualties.
