UNITED NATIONS, March 2  - The United Nations General Assembly 
on Wednesday overwhelmingly voted to reprimand Russia for invading 
Ukraine and demanded that Moscow stop fighting and withdraw its military
 forces, an action that aims to diplomatically isolate Russia at the 
world body. 6park.com
The resolution, supported by 141 of the assembly's 193 members, passed 
in a rare emergency session called by the U.N. Security Council while 
Ukrainian forces battled to defend the port of Kherson in the face of 
air strikes and a devastating bombardment that forced hundreds of 
thousands of people to flee. 6park.com
Russia was joined by Belarus, which has served as a launch pad for 
Russian invasion forces, Eritrea, North Korea and Syria in voting 
against the resolution. Thirty-five members, including China, abstained.
