MOSCOW, March 28 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian Foreign Ministry has called a UN General Assembly resolution on Ukraine "counterproductive" and called on the international community to stabilize the situation in the country, according to a statement published on the ministry's website on Friday.

The UN General Assembly on Thursday in a majority vote passed a resolution on the recently passed referendum in Crimea as illegitimate. The UN resolution was passed with 100 countries voting for it, 11 were against, and 58 counties abstained.

"The counterproductive initiative with the General Assembly's resolution only complicates efforts to stabilize the domestic political crisis in Ukraine," the statement reads.
