Morocco abstains from voting in the U.N. General Assembly on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

On Wednesday, the United Nations General Assembly voted strongly to reprove Russia for invading Ukraine, demanding that Russia cease shooting and withdraw its armed forces.

However, Morocco has chosen to not vote on the United Nations General Assembly decision on the crisis between Ukraine and Russia.

According to the ministry’s report for February 26th, 2022, Morocco’s non-participation in this vote cannot be explained by its primitive stance on the situation between Federal Russia and Ukraine.

Given the escalation in the situation between Ukraine and federal Russia, the kingdom of Morocco continues to be concerned and preoccupied.
