The vote at the UN General Assembly on a condemnation of Russia for the annexation of Ukrainian territories, and the campaign agendas of presidential candidates are among the highlights of this Wednesday (12).
UN to vote on Wednesday (12) condemnation of annexations made by Russia
The General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) is due to vote on Wednesday (12) the condemnation of Russia for the annexation of territories in Ukraine.
Representatives of the United Nations began on Monday (10) the debate on the resolution that would condemn Russia’s “so-called illegal referendums” and the “illegal attempt at annexation”.
On the first day of the assembly, 107 of the 193 member countries voted in favor of holding a public vote – and not a secret one, as the Russians requested.
In September, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the annexation of four partially occupied regions in Ukraine: Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. The annexation was announced after Russian-backed authorities held referendums of sorts in the territories. Ukraine and allies denounced the votes as illegal and coercive.

Bolsonaro starts the day in Belo Horizonte, where he participates in the inauguration of the World City of God’s Dreams, of the World Church of the Power of God, at 9 am.
In the afternoon, he visits the National Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora Aparecida, in the interior of São Paulo, where he attends a mass. He will also pray with supporters in front of the ancient Basilica of Aparecida.
Biden tells CNN that Putin “significantly miscalculated” Ukraine invasion
President Joe Biden of the United States said in an exclusive interview with CNN on Tuesday (11) who believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin is a “rational actor” who, however, misjudged his ability to invade Ukraine and repress its people.
“I think he’s a rational actor who has significantly miscalculated,” Biden told Jake Tapper, as Russian bombings of civilian targets in Ukraine signaled another turning point in the months-long war.
Biden, his senior officials and other Western leaders have spent the past few months debating what measures Putin can take as his troops suffer embarrassing losses on the battlefield in Ukraine. Biden himself warned last week that the risk of “nuclear Armageddon” was at its highest point in 60 years.
Lula reaffirms support for removed governor; Bolsonaro says he has “paved road” in Congress
The presidential candidates Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) and Jair Bolsonaro (PT) fulfilled their public campaign agenda this Tuesday (11). The candidates contest the second round of elections on October 30th.
Lula participated in a motorcade in Belford Roxo (RJ), alongside Waguinho, the city’s mayor. After the act, he gave an interview to the press, in which he called the decision of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) to remove Governor Paulo Dantas (MDB) for an alleged scheme to divert resources to hire ghost employees. .
Bolsonaro had appointments in the south of the country. First, he went to Balneário Camboriú (SC), where he met mayors, regional leaders and businessmen. During the agenda, the president once again stated that the benches elected to the Chamber of Deputies and the Federal Senate will allow greater “efficiency” in his second term, if he wins at the polls on the 30th.
