Russia's memebership in United Nations revoked

Link to article


As John Kerry and President Barack Obama warned, sanctions against Russia begun. So far Russian Federation was suspended from G-8, now it was REMOVED from United Nations coalition. At March 27, UN members voted for or against Russian membership in UN. The resolution garnered 100 votes in favor, 11 votes against, with 58 abstentions. Votes against were votes of Russian allies and mostly countries with communistic government or dictatorship (ex: China, India, Pakistan, Syria). The justification of this movement is of course, Russian illegal voting in Crimea in March 17 and as Thomas Mayr-Harting, the E.U. ambassador said redrawing borders of Ukraine. Since all of the Russian actions were illegal, there's going to be only more sanctions.
