On the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution drafted by Ukraine and the European Union that named Russia as the aggressor and called for its troops to withdraw, by 93 votes to 18, the Guardian reported. The United States voted against alongside Russia, Belarus and North Korea, after offering a rival text that did not name Russia as the aggressor.
