Russia and China voted in favor of the resolution. The US, the UK, and France voted against it, while the 10 non-permanent members of the Council abstained.
Russia has raised the allegation of biological and chemical weapons in Ukraine several times at the UN Security Council since it launched a “special military operation” in Ukraine.
The US and Ukraine have denied Russia's accusations.
