Unexpected Diplomatic Moves: Russia's Veto Surprises the US at the UN

At a recent UN Security Council vote, Russia's actions took the United States by surprise, marking a significant departure from its previous diplomatic behavior concerning North Korea.

This event, reported by Vietnamese journalists and covered by the news outlet Soha, has sparked discussions and analyses across global media platforms. This is reported by AB News.

A Surprising Turn of Events

The resolution in question aimed to extend the mandate of a commission monitoring sanctions against North Korea for another year. With 15 member countries participating in the vote, 13 supported the resolution.

China abstained, leaving Russia as the only nation to veto the measure. This move by Russia, deviating from its historical stance over the last 14 years, prompted immediate reactions from various quarters.
