Russia suspended from UN Human Rights Council for Putin's brutal war in Ukraine

Russia has been suspended from the UN Human Rights Council after a vote of the UN General Council was called following the horrific scenes of death reported in Bucha.

The US-led push came after harrowing reports of violations from Vladimir Putin’s bloody invasion of Ukraine, including in the northern town recently liberated from Russian soldiers who are accused of massacring hundreds.

Russia was kicked out after a vote this afternoon was approved with 93 votes in favour, 24 against and 59 abstentions from member countries.
