Russia Fails to Rejoin UN Shipping Council

Russia wanted to get a seat on an important group that helps with ships and the ocean.

This group is part of the United Nations.

Many countries voted, and Russia didn't get enough votes to join.

Russia has been a member of this group for a long time, but this year, it didn't make it.

Some countries, like Ukraine, didn't want Russia to join because of the war in Ukraine.

Russia said the group was being too political.

Meanwhile, India was re-elected to the same group with the highest number of votes in its category.

India is very important for sea trade, and it will continue to work with other countries to make the maritime sector better.
