Analysts say China's vote has to be seen in the context of a changing world order, where Donald Trump is upending America’s long-held role as a leading global player.

The UN Security Council adopted a US-drafted resolution calling for a swift end to the Russia-Ukraine war, without blaming Russia or ensuring Ukraine's territorial integrity. The resolution received mixed votes from permanent and non-permanent members,

Two resolutions were tabled for voting in the UNGA against 'Russian aggression in Ukraine' where the US voted against one while abstaining on its own draft after it was amended. The same original draft was taken to UNSC where it was adopted.
