The United States joined Russia in voting against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine, marking a significant departure from years of US policy. This vote aligned the US with Russia, contrary to its longstanding European allies, on the three-year anniversary of Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has been in discussions with Moscow about ending the war, with President Trump intensifying his rhetoric towards Ukrainian President Zelensky.
The resolution was adopted by the General Assembly with 93 votes in favor, calling for de-escalation and a peaceful resolution to the war. The US introduced its own resolution, which did not label Russia as the aggressor or recognize Ukraine’s territorial integrity. It urged a swift end to the conflict, mourning the loss of life, and emphasized the UN’s role in maintaining peace. The US later abstained from voting on its own resolution after amendments were made to strengthen language against Russia.
