Man, what a time we live in. China abstained while the US voted against a resolution condemning Russia. This would be unthinkable just a few months ago.

Seems there was some shenanigans going on...
After UN votes, Russia praises 'more balanced' US position on Ukraine
US gets resolution through Security Council and General Assembly, but differences widen with European allies and Ukraine

At UN, competing resolutions on ending Russia’s war in Ukraine approved
Resolution #1:
European diplomats met through the weekend to find a way to prevent the U.S. draft from undermining international support for Ukraine at a critical moment in the war. On Monday, they proposed three amendments to the U.S. text, all of which were adopted by the General Assembly.
When the amended U.S. text was put to a vote, Washington abstained on its own resolution. It was adopted with 93 states in favor, 8 against and 73 abstentions.
Resolution #2:
The Ukrainian resolution was approved to loud applause with 93 states in favor, 18 against and 65 abstentions. It was the weakest support Ukraine has had over the course of the last three years in the Assembly.
The United States voted against the Ukrainian text as did Russia, its allies Belarus and North Korea, several African states, European Union outlier Hungary, and Israel.
