Kuala Lumpur: Ukrainians are grateful for the affirmative support given by Malaysia in the 11th Emergency Special Session of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly last week.
“Malaysia supported and voted in favour of the UN resolution titled ‘Aggression Against Ukraine’ Wednesday (March 2)”, Ukraine Ambassador to Malaysia, Olexander Nechytaylo, said.
The Foreign Ministry recently said “while Malaysia may not have agreed to every single word in the resolution, Malaysia supported and voted in favour of it in line with the country’s long-standing position on the need to consistently uphold the principles of sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of states – principles which are sacrosanct to Malaysia.” The resolution, which was adopted by a majority of the 193-member UN General Assembly, received 141 affirmative votes, five against and 35 abstentions.
