The resolution was adopted by 112 votes for, with 50 against and 14 abstaining. Ukraine, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany and other EU countries were among those that voted against. The document, titled "Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fueling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance," was co-sponsored by Belarus and Syria. Russia appreciates all nations who voted in favor of a Russian-drafted resolution on combating Nazism regardless of the "blatant" provocations from certain countries, the director of the Russian foreign ministry's department for humanitarian cooperation and human rights said.Historic truth must be upheld, including at the United Nations, he added.Earlier in the day, the committee had approved an amendment to the resolution proposed by Albania, Australia, Japan, Guatemala, Liberia, the Marshall Islands and North Macedonia. The amendment accuses Russia of "justifying" its "aggression against Ukraine" on "the purported basis of eliminating neo-Nazism" and states that it "seriously undermines genuine attempts to combat neo-Nazism." It was adopted in a 66-26 vote, with 67 abstaining.

Russia appreciates all nations who voted in favor of a Russian-drafted resolution on combating Nazism regardless of the "blatant" provocations from certain countries, the director of the Russian foreign ministry's department for humanitarian cooperation and human rights said.
"I would like to express my gratitude to all of those delegations who co-sponsored this important resolution and also voted in favor of its adoption despite all the procedural provocations that were blatant," Grigory Lukyantsev said.
Historic truth must be upheld, including at the United Nations, he added.
Earlier in the day, the committee had approved an amendment to the resolution proposed by Albania, Australia, Japan, Guatemala, Liberia, the Marshall Islands and North Macedonia. The amendment accuses Russia of "justifying" its "aggression against Ukraine" on "the purported basis of eliminating neo-Nazism" and states that it "seriously undermines genuine attempts to combat neo-Nazism." It was adopted in a 66-26 vote, with 67 abstaining.
