u. n. general assembly voted today to demand an immediate halt the attack and withdrawal of all russian troops. and there were signs of diplomacy. russia says it will take part in his second round of talks with ukraine in belarus on thursday. but heather there's a little sense that we will see any kind of breakthrough here to end the bloodshed. hopefully we do though. all right. thank you so much, christina. in russia. antiwar protests are intensifying demonstrators are taking to the streets in st petersburg, where police are trying to control the crowds more than 5000. russian protesters have been arrested since the invasion began. those speaking out say they must stand against war. it's a war must be stopped. it must be. it's crazy . what's going on right now? we should all shout no to war. we should go out because it can't happen any other way. otherwise we will lose russia. not only will we lose ukraine, but russia as well. in addition to protest , many are looking for ways they can help here in the u. s people are collecting donations and even sending tactical equipment to help ukrainian

developments, the un general assembly today approved a resolution that deplores but doesn't condemn russia ukraine invasion. it was its 1st emergency sessions since 1997 from the u. n. and kristen salumi reports ukraine came to the general assembly, arguing that russian aggression is a violation of the un charter as well as the deadly existential threat. they have come to the ukranian soil, not only to appeal, some of us, not only to see our cause, and for your it is they have come to deprive ukraine of the very right to exist. here russia has no veto power, just the power to make its case, even in the face of enormous opposition. i am gonna give us your refusal to support today's draft. resolution is a vote for a peaceful ukraine. free from radicalism and neo nazis. i mean, you're not seasonal. in the end, only 4 member states cited with the russians. 141 voting in favor of the resolution deploring the military operation. today, the world has spoken with a clear united voice. together, the vast majority of the world has condemned russia's unprovoked unjustified unconscionable war. we have deplored barouche for allowing its territory to be used to facilitate this a

the un general assembly votes and they, you, in general assembly the way the u. n. is set up doesn't really have that much power . the power lies with the security council, who knew and security council was formed after the 2nd world war. there was the country, is that one? the 2nd world war? the got permanent seeds on the un security council. now there are rotating members, member states have rotating rolled on the security council, but that's how these things work. now of course us media is playing up the fact that this resolution that was put forward by the united states condemning rushes, actions in ukraine. other, they're playing up that it was condemned by the un general assembly. of course us media never pays attention to all the times. the general assembly has voted to condemn the united states over the years. and you know, every year when it comes to the blockade of cuba. so we're seeing quite biased coverage job. however, at the same time, you know, many are looking on at the world situation and quite concerned about the rhetoric. people are looking at the

just going to take you one now to the un general assembly where the usaa bachelor's, the u. n. is speaking, listening for rain, with drinking water to stay alive, gas to keep people from freezing to death. and now it appears. russia is preparing to increase the brutality of its campaign against ukraine. we have seen videos of russian forces moving exceptionally lethal weapon tree into ukraine, which has no place on the battlefield. that includes cluster munitions and vacuum bombs which are banned under the geneva convention. we all have seen the 40 mile long leaf o convoy charging toward keith. president putin continues to escalate. pudding rushes, nucular forces on high alert, threatening to invade finland and sweden. at every step of the war, russia has portrayed the united nations. russia's actions go against everything. this body stands for people across the world have already united together in exactly the way this general assembly must do to day protest and vigils against russia's war and in solidarity with ukraine. mark with blue and yellow, have sprung up across the glo

u. n. c. that you'll know that there was a vote in the general assembly where a 141 countries condemned russia's aggression against ukraine. and only 4 countries voted with russia. so i think that gives you a very good insight into what the international community thinks. it's far as the security council goes. it is disappointing, but it's not unexpected that the russians be towed to be honest. the price of the existence of the b tow has been the continuation of the united nations. in my view . throughout the decade since 945, it was one of those conditions built in to the founding of the u. n. it obviously has its limits, as we've seen over ukraine and the russians featuring that, that resolution. but it is, if you like, baked into the way the un we're showing, i mean, you know, it's not the fault of anybody working there is you say it's just the way the system was set out. but there is a risk that is the sort of international community ends up looking a bit impotent because the un can't really act because a security council has a chance tied nato has made it clear. it's not going to impose a n

u. n. as we reported just a few moments ago, that the un general assembly voted on that resolution demanding that russia withdraw its troops from ukraine. as you heard, 141 voted in favor of 5 against russia and bail roost among those 5 ahead of that vote, russia faced urgent calls to end its assault on ukraine. but moscow still denies that its targeting civilians. they have come to the ukrainian soil, not only to kill some of us, not only to see our cause and priorities they have come to deprive ukraine of the very right to exist. they have come to resolve the ukrainian issue. as they are propagandist claimed. just stop and think whether these wars remind you of something to day we call on russia to stop it's unprovoked, unjustified unconscionable war. we call on russia to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine. we call on another neighbor of ukraine barouche, who you've just heard from, to stop supporting the war and stop allowing its territory to be used to facilitate this aggression. but he, at the maintenance motion would are, we are not cutting out strikes on civi

general assembly and the results of the boat. and you are aware of the results, you know, they vote in the u. n. a. see as well. and it was given that, given the attitude to the russian position, and do you believe there will be changes in the geopolitical priorities of russia? other than yours may be, there will be a shift of it short of somewhere else into the other direction and do more. another question, if i may ask no security guarantees, sir, i have been given to russia from the rest. and do you have the highlighted? how important it is, and you've given the campaign in ukraine, do you believe there's some security guarantees there will be given by the west to russia? thank you. well, essential, an ego conflicts and due and the result in an agreement opposition is well known. we haven't been hardy for so to yes them the best to know sour concerns very well and the best to which you should know to ignore them haughtily for so many years and do some with little people. understood out too. as for the fever to, well actually we are right it to work with all the countries they who are also ready to a deal wit

general assembly. it is absolutely hugely pro ukraine, anti russian intervention. you're talking about percentages of perhaps 90 percent of the u. n ga, condemns rushes action in ukraine. so there is a great deal of agreement. there's a great deal of unity both within the united nations as an organization and to a degree within the security council. or i, thanks so much mike. we're going to go back now to the united nations security council, i believe the owner of sensitive ambassador fly china, though, is about to address lesson ukraine. it is still very rapidly evolving waiver really in complexity. and as i said, i can see what is mostly needed now, continues to be too intensified to chromatic efforts. reduce tension and to bring the ukrainian issue back to the track of the political settlement as soon as possible, while making efforts to prevent a massive large scale humanitarian crisis. stop fighting on hostilities is a wide spread, a desire of the international community. peace negotiations are the only viable means to achieve that goal. recently, russia, ukraine have held multiple rounds of direct talks and the 2 foreign min

u. n. a in new york, and i could explain more to as kristen about with the resolution of the process now . right, so what is before the general assembly is a resolution similar to wine that was voted on in the security council on friday, but be towed by russia. it deplores russia's use of force in the ukraine, demanding that its use of force cease. it also calls out bela rues for its involvement in the attacks. but here in the general assembly, russia does not have veto power, like it does in the security council. so what is expected to happen in the coming hours is a vote will be taken. it takes 2 thirds of votes cast in order for that resolution to pass. now that's not 2 thirds of member states. there are a 193 member states, but all of them may not vote. it will take 2 thirds of those who vote and in order for it to pass. and right now we are seeing 100 co sponsors of this resolution that those co sponsors, of course, we assume are yes votes moving forward. the question is, how many people will abstain? how many countries will abstain moving forward in order in it's 2 thirds of those who do vote that will allow this resolution to p

u. n. is already beginning that work, they don't need a resolution to do that. a general assembly resolution doesn't have the force of international law. the strength of it many would say is in the unity and certainly that's what the secretary general and his supposed person have been saying that the more unified a response is the, the stronger it is in the, in harder it is for countries to ignore it. and i'm just seeing now the ukranian resolution, it looks like has passed with $140.00 votes, 5 against $38.00 abstentions of it's similar to another general assembly, a resolution that actually called for russia to withdraw. i believe that as the ukrainian, i prefer draft that just sponsored and past resoundingly i, although the backers of that were hoping to get a few extra votes from their last vote to show more pressure against russia. there were still some key abstentions in that vote. there we'll have to study back more closely. great, thank you so much christian for that, that ukrainian resolution, as chris was saying on humanitarian, on the mentioned to tuition in ukraine has

u. n. a saying could become the largest refugee crisis in europe this century. as many as 4000000 people they fear could end up fleeing the country. meanwhile, the un general assembly is in the 2nd davidson, special session. what's been happening the yes day 2 of a special emergency session called by the security council. the last time they called the meeting like this was 40 years ago, tells you how rare and serious it is to morrow. the general assembly is expected to vote on a resolution of deploring russian aggression. calling for them to cease it's use of force calling for the country to cease its use of force. russia cannot veto a resolution in the general assembly like it did to a similar resolution in the security council. and there are 88 co sponsors now that number has been climbing. many of these countries are taking to the floor of the general assembly to speak. in fact, to day we expect germany's foreign minister to come all the way to new york to deliver it's countries addressed to the general assembly, foreign minister, and a lena bear, bach. i will deliver their speech a brush account veto. here, as i said, takes 2 thirds of them. countries to pass a

general assembly and the results of the boat. and you are aware of the results, you know, they vote in the u. n. a. see as well. and it was a given that given the attitude to the russian position, and do you believe there will be changes in the geopolitical priorities or of russia or the norms may be there will be a shift of it short of somewhere else into the other direction. and do more. another question, if i may ask with no security guarantees, sir, i have been given to russia from the rest and you have the highlighted, how important it is. and do you given the campaign in ukraine? do you believe that because of some security guarantees there will be given by the biased to russia? thank you. well, venture an ego of conflicts and do and the results in an agreement, opposition is well known. we haven't been harder for 30 years, them the best to know sour concerns very well and the best to which you should know to ignore them haughtily for so many years. and you know, some with little people understood is out too. as for the fever to, well actually we are right it to work with all the countries they who are al
