The article discusses the Trump administration's controversial request for Ukraine to withdraw its annual resolution condemning Russia's invasion. Instead, Washington proposed a new, more lenient statement, perceived as pro-Russian, which left Ukrainian officials stunned. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio presented the proposal, portraying it as a path to peace. However, Ukrainians, led by President Zelensky, resisted these changes, viewing them as undermining Ukraine's sovereignty and diminishing accountability for Russia's actions. This strain in U.S.-Ukraine relations was compounded by President Trump's previous comments about Ukraine's role in instigating the conflict.
The Trump administration has proposed that Ukraine withdraw its annual resolution condemning Russia's war, aiming to replace it with a perceived pro-Russian U.S. statement.
Ukrainians were informed of the new proposal, which sought to minimize Russia's responsibility for the invasion, surprising Kyiv officials who refused to comply.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the new resolution as a means to affirm that the conflict is terrible yet peace is achievable, emphasizing resolution support.
The new U.S. proposal was seen as an attempt to weaken Ukraine's stance in the UN, particularly after Trump’s controversial remarks about Ukraine's role in the war.
