The Soviet Union was boycotting the UN General Assembly when the vote was taken. You can be sure they had serious regret over that decision. The guy who made that call was probably making small rocks out of big rocks.

In 1950, Joseph Stalin was engaged in a boycott of the United Nations. The Soviet Union was protesting the admittance of China, and its recognition by the UN at the time. Therefore, he did not go before them about the Korean conflict. As a result, the UN Security Counci8l granted President Truman the right to send troops into South Korea.

In any case, the Soviet Union, though able to veto this, did not do so. This was due to the fact that they did not attend that particular meeting that discussed the US's intervention, mostly since the USSR was boycotting the UN's refusal to allow the People's Republic of China (then under Mao) entry to the United Nations.

It was because, the Soviet Union was a Communist country and that's why the Soviet Union decided to not vote to help defend South Korea at the UN Security Council because, the Soviet Union decided to help in defending North Korea because, North Korea was considered to be Communist also back then so the Soviet Union decided to help North Korea over South Korea because, South Korea was considered to be Capitalist, and that wouldn't have been good to clash with back then. Communists and Capitalist's fighting together back then. :/

The Soviet Union was already boycotting the UN Security Council so they could not attend to vote against the proposal to send forces to help South Korea.
