Devil in the details. A lot of Countries abstaining rather than being counted, and these are countries that know better and don't have a direct pressure point or philosophical support for RuZZia.
Better than nothing... But a fair bit of LMF
The resolution is short on substantive interventions. It's nice it reaffirms the demand by the UN for Russia to go home from all Ukraine's internationally recognised lands... And if they don't nothing will be done by the UN in spite of the disregard of the Article 27(3) rule that denies Russia a vote and therefore Russia has no Veto in the UNSC... A point disregarded for convenience by ... Those fine people who diligently and tirelessly work to preserve the polish on the seats I. The UNGA, and stuff all else.
That's OP1, OP2 -3 officially raise a bit of eyebrow against Russia, Vlad will quake at that. OP 4 adds a register of damages for future weasling over...
OP5 is the, we are so tired, we need a nap.
Vlad gets away with his brutality because the UN breaches their own rule 27(3 and allow him to do so. Frankly, only the Scandinavian girls seem to have the backbone to actually abide with the UN Charter, my govt doesn't they could care less.
