The United States is taking a dramatic departure from its European allies by planning to vote against a U.N. resolution condemning Russia's aggression in Ukraine. This shift coincides with the Trump administration's efforts to improve relations with Russia. The U.S. will also introduce its own resolution, which lacks a strong denunciation of Russia's actions. Notably, U.N. expert Richard Gowan highlights the widening rift between the U.S. and its European partners, who remain committed to supporting Ukraine's territorial integrity amid growing diplomatic tensions.
The United States' shift marks a significant divergence from its European allies on the Ukraine conflict, as the Trump administration seeks to mend ties with Russia.
Passage of both the Ukrainian resolution and the amendments to the U.S. version would place the United States alongside Russia in the U.N. General Assembly.
While European partners are eager for a comprehensive debate on the conflict, the U.S. remains focused on simply bringing parties to the negotiating table.
U.S. interim representative Dorothy Camille Shea announced that the U.S. would vote against the U.N. resolution condemning Russia's actions, indicating a notable policy change.
