The United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly voted to pass a resolution censuring Russia for its attempted annexation of four Ukrainian regions on Wednesday.

In a record number of ayes for resolutions supporting Ukraine since the onset of the war, 143 countries voted in favor of the resolution, while five voted against and 35 abstained.

The five countries voting against the measure were Russia, three allies that have consistently aligned themselves with Moscow in the chamber--- Syria, North Korea, Belarus -- as well as Nicaragua.

A senior administration official previously set the bar for success of the measure at 100 votes -- the same number that backed a resolution denouncing Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014.

U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield called it a "monumental day" for the body.

"This means that, in the eyes of the world, Ukraine's borders remain the same," she said on Twitter.

Power has been restored to the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant after it lost all of its external power for the second time in five days.

The plant's operator said the outage was caused by shelling damage to a far-off sub-station.

The plant's backup diesel generators had provided electricity for its nuclear safety and security functions, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency.

“This repeated loss of #ZNPP’s off-site power is a deeply worrying development and it underlines the urgent need for a nuclear safety & security protection zone around the site," IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said in a tweet.
