## Notable votes
### United States

The U.S. had been a strong supporter of Ukraine under the presidency of Joe Biden; however, since the start of the second presidency of Donald Trump, it has moved towards a normalization of relations with Russia, pursuing a negotiated settlement of the conflict in Ukraine. The U.S. voted against the resolution—and, in doing so, against Ukraine—in support of Russia.
Alongside this resolution, the US introduced a separate resolution in the General Assembly which was worded in neutral terms and did not condemn Russia. However, the Assembly approved several amendments adding wording which condemned Russia; the US therefore ended up abstaining on its own resolution.
The US later re-introduced that resolution in the Security Council, which ultimately approved it.

### Serbia

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić apologised to the citizens of Serbia for mistakenly voting in favour of the resolution and said that the country should have abstained from voting instead.

### Hungary

Hungary was the only EU member state to vote against the resolution.

### Israel

Israel was the only Middle Eastern state to vote against the resolution, while Iran abstained. This was likely due to US pressure.
