Russia on Friday vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution denouncing its invasion of Ukraine while China, India, and the United Arab Emirates abstained from the vote.
The remaining 11 council members voted in favor, allowing the draft resolution to be taken up by the 193-member UN General Assembly.
"You can veto this resolution but you cannot veto our voices," U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas Greenfield told her Russian counterpart and the council.
