Central American countries have shifted their voting records on United Nations resolutions related to\u00a0Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine\u00a0during the past months, underscoring their complex relationships with global superpowers and each other, according to analysts.<\/p>\n
Nicaragua was\u00a0one of only five countries\u00a0to vote against a UN resolution last week calling for non-recognition and a reversal of Russia\u2019s \u201cattempted illegal annexation\u201d of four regions in Ukraine. Russia, Belarus, Syria and North Korea also\u00a0voted against\u00a0the resolution.<\/p>\n
The October 12 resolution passed in the UN General Assembly with 143 votes in favour. Honduras was among 35 abstentions and El Salvador was one of eight countries not present for the vote.<\/p>\n
The three Central American countries voted differently on\u00a0a March 2 resolution\u00a0demanding Russia immediately withdraw all military forces from Ukraine. Honduras voted in favour of that resolution and El Salvador and Nicaragua both abstained.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe surprising thing is not now, but rather Nicaragua\u2019s choice in March,\u201d said Carlos Cascante, a professor of international relations at the National University in Costa Rica.<\/p>\n
