MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Moscow welcomes the adoption by the UN General Assembly of a Russian-drafted resolution on the fight against the glorification of Nazism, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.
The UN General Assembly on Tuesday adopted a Russian-drafted resolution on combating the glorification of Nazism. The resolution was approved in a 118-49 vote, with 14 member states abstaining. Russia, China, and Israel were among those that voted in favor. The United States, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, and Germany voted against.
"This is very good news. We welcome those who joined this. This is an extremely important topic, especially for the modern world, where we see how in some places neo-Nazis are trying to raise their heads ... Therefore, the adoption of such declarations is extremely important," Peskov told reporters.
