Even as he reiterated Guyana’s condemnation of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the current war, President Irfaan Ali yesterday defended Guyana’s abstention vote on the United Nations resolution to suspend Russia from the Human Rights Council for gross excesses in Ukraine, saying the country awaits findings of the United Nations investigations.
“We are very strong against this war. We are very strong against the invasion of Ukraine. We stand solidly with the rest of the world in condemning the war and in asking Russia to go back to diplomacy and in having this war brought to an end. That is without a doubt,” Ali said yesterday when asked the reason Guyana abstained from voting.
