Russia said on Thursday that it was quitting the UN Human Rights Council.
The UN General Assembly voted to suspend Russia on Thursday. UN regulations require a two-thirds majority of voters to expel or suspend members.
The assembly moved to vote on Russia's membership after evidence emerged of more than 300 civilian deaths during Russia's occupation of Bucha, a town outside the capital Kyiv.
Russia denies the claims that it committed the killings and says the deaths were staged.
Russia said it was quitting the UN after it was suspended, and Gennady Kuzmin, Russia's ambassador to the UN, said it was politically motivated.
Sergiy Kyslytsya, the Ukrainian ambassador to the UN, told reporters that you don't have to submit your resignation after being fired.
Libya was the second country to be suspended from the Human Rights Council. The US rejoined the council under President Joe Biden after quitting under President Donald Trump.
Biden said Thursday that the vote was a meaningful step by the international community further demonstrating how Putin's war has made Russia an international pariah.
Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the US ambassador to the UN, told the General Assembly on Thursday that the UN's suspension sends a clear message that the suffering of victims and survivors will not be ignored.
We ensured that a persistent and egregious human rights violator will not be allowed to hold a position of leadership on human rights at the UN.
In an address delivered Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Russia was planning attacks on civilians around Ukraine which would be as bad as seen in Bucha.
Zelenskyy called for Russia to be removed from the UN Security Council if it doesn't take the step to end the conflict in Ukraine.
Russia is one of five permanent members that have veto power.
