No, it is not siding with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Brazil simply thought an independent investigation was warranted at this time while the 12 abstentions believe it best to wait until the investigations already in progress have been completed.
So desperate to get other nations on your side you twist facts to feel a little better. Brazil has not backed Russia in any of the general assembly votes on Russia's invasion. That is the fact.

Can confirm wrt Brazil:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly_Resolution_ES-11/1#:~:text=The%20resolution%20was%20sponsored%20by,5%20against%2C%20and%2035%20abstentions.
Brazil was one of the 141 nations that voted in favor of ES-11/1 (which deplored Russia's invasion of Ukraine and demanded a full withdrawal of Russian forces and a reversal of its decision to recognize the self-declared People's Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk.)

Bet the security council would have approved an independent inquiry if Russia hadn't invaded Ukraine or Belarus and wasn't going to station tactical nukes in Belarus.
Plus hitting a drone flying in international airspace isn't exactly being a good neighbor.

UN is in the US. Us blew the pipelines up. Does Russia really expect the UN to be impartial?

transparency is only allowed for the "just" and the media and the West decides who the "just" are in any such narratives.
Why cant there be an impartial and transparent inquiry?
Because its inconvenient who will be found to have done it.

USA has had tactical Nuclear weapons in Germany, Italy, Turkiye, Netherlands and Belgium and planning to place them in Poland. They also have nukes on Russia’s Eastern border in Japan. So…

How about this, Russia. You get to investigate Nordstream 2, and the West gets to investigate the thousands of missing children from Ukraine. Access will be required to Germany and Russia. Should be fair, right?

It was Seymore Hersh, a famous Pulitzer-winning journalist, who pointed out a possibility that the United States was the culprit that had blasted the Nord Stream pipeline.
We are looking forward to knowing the credibility of Hersh's story despite the UN Security Council resolution.
