(Worthy News) – Russia has been suspended from the United Nations’ Human Rights Council (UNHRC) following its invasion of Ukraine.

Moscow described the move as an “unfriendly gesture” and said there will be consequences for bilateral ties, according to a note seen by Reuters. [ Source: Sky News (Read More…) ]
