MONTREAL (Reuters) -Russia failed to win enough support on Saturday to get elected to the United Nation's aviation agency's governing council, in the latest rebuke of Moscow for actions taken after its 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Russia fell short of support needed to win a seat on the International Civil Aviation Organization's 36-nation governing council, during the agency's assembly, which runs through October 3 in Montreal.
