I think its more likely that the abstaining countries rely on America for trade or military in some way and don’t want to aggravate them politically but clearly aren’t willing to vote alongside them.
Or, as the other (better informed) guy said. This resolution equates tearing down soviet monuments to be Nazism.
That by extension means it equates Ukraine (the country partially occupied and fraudulently annexed by Russia) with Nazism. Countries which respect Ukraine’s sovereignty (and have enough skepticism of Russia to read more than the title) wouldn’t want to vote against (because of the title) but also wouldn’t want to vote in favor.

Tearing down monuments to WW2 veterans who fought against the Nazis certainly suggests a certain affinity with the Nazis.

Incorrect, and it’s people saying things like this that is why we should combat efforts to rewrite history.
They divided Poland between them.
And Poland and Germany divided Czechoslovakia between them. Were they allies too?
FWIW, it was far less territory, but yes, a Slavic nation (or any nation) was stupid to deal with Hitler.

Lol. Desperately clutching at anything to justify the double standard.
But even if what you said was true, the USSR invaded a Nazi ally, so what’s the problem?
