X is Abstain yeah. All the countries that abstained did so to show the US that they're good little vassals.

The official reason is that apparently saying "Nazism is bad" will lend validity to Russia's claim to be denazifying Ukraine. How that looks worse than Ukraine voting to allow Nazism is unclear.
