Serbian President Apologizes for Accidental Pro-Ukraine UN Vote

Aleksandar Vučić cites fatigue for Serbia's unexpected support of a resolution condemning Russia's actions in Ukraine at the UN General Assembly.

Serbia's President Aleksandar Vučić apologized for supporting a European-backed UN resolution calling for Russia's withdrawal from Ukraine, attributing the vote to exhaustion.
The resolution, supported by 93 countries, demanded an end to hostilities and affirmed Ukraine's territorial integrity, with Russia and the U.S. voting against it.
Vučić stated that Serbia should have abstained from the vote, consistent with its previous neutral stance on similar resolutions.
Russia publicly accepted Vučić's apology, emphasizing the close historical and cultural ties between the two nations.
Serbia, a traditional ally of Russia, has faced pressure from the West to distance itself from Moscow but continues to avoid imposing sanctions on Russia.
