Russia, together with Brazil, China, India, and Germany, abstained from voting on the UN Security Council resolution authorizing the use of force in Libya and approving a no-fly zone over the country. Rather than using their veto power, Russia and China abstained, and the resolution was adopted by ten votes out of a possible fifteen. Air strikes on Libyan troops by foreign armed forces, such as French, UK, and US forces, are expected soon.
