I didn't hear it, but you may check voting results every year - it is traditional yearly voting, Ukraine and US not first time are alone there. US explains what it is against 1st amendment, and Ukraine... Ukraine just doesn't want to shoot into own leg - Ukrainian Nazi will be angry.
For example Dec 16 2020 voting https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3894841?ln=en - 1 year before Putin's speech.
Dec 18 2019 voting https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3840130?ln=en 2 years before Putin's speech
And first time when Ukraine voted against it was Dec 2014 - first voting after nationalist revolution, so named Maidan, when nationalists got power https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/820132?ln=en

I don't think anyone views this as saber rattling. A mentally unstable and dangerous man becoming more dangerous maybe. At the very least, it shows a sign of weakness and that the war isn't going as he wanted.
In other news, stories abound all over the internet of how ex Navy Seals, British Special Forces, SAS and so on are heading out to Ukraine to help.
