The United Nations (UN) General Assembly re-convened on Tuesday for day two of an emergency session on Russia's invasion of Ukraine, as a Russian convoy of tanks and other armoured vehicles move on the capital city of Kyiv.

The General Assembly will vote this week on a draft resolution to condemn Russia by deploring its "aggression against Ukraine" and demanding Russian troops stop fighting and withdraw on Friday.

On Tuesday, several countries, including Australia, said they would vote in favour of the resolution.

While General Assembly resolutions are non-binding, they carry political weight. The United States and allies see action at the United Nations as a chance to show that Russia is isolated because of its invasion of neighbouring Ukraine.
