The Aggression against Ukraine resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly will be used in international courts against the Russian Federation, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said.

"The resolution states the existence of aggression, requires Russia to cease fire and withdraw troops from Ukraine beyond internationally recognized borders. This resolution will not only be an important political signal of Russia's isolation, it will also be used in international courts," Kuleba wrote on Facebook.

He noted that the only countries that voted against the resolution were Russia, Syria, North Korea, Belarus and Eritrea.

"Russia's loneliness in the world looks like this. Some 141 UN states voted for the resolution. This is a record number of votes for a Ukrainian resolution since 2014. Despite the fact that the text is as tough as possible. This is how the anti-war coalition for Ukraine looks like," the minister stressed.

At the adoption of the UN General Assembly resolution requiring the Russian Federation to stop the attack on Ukraine and withdraw troops, 35 abstained (among them are China, India, South Africa, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Cuba, Central African Republic).
