The United States ed Russia to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine Monday in a stunning shift from years of US policy.

The vote against the Ukrainian and European-backed resolution saw the US at odds with its longtime European allies and instead aligned with the aggressor in the war on the three-year anniversary of Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The US again voted the same way as Russia later Monday on a US-proposed UN Security Council resolution that did not call the Kremlin the aggressor or acknowledge Ukraine’s territorial integrity. The resolution ed without the of five European of the Security Council.

The US’ shocking alignment with Russia at the United Nations came as the Trump istration has pursued discussions with Moscow about ending the war. President Donald Trump has ratcheted up his rhetoric towards Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. European partners have rushed to adjust to the shift in US policy and French President Emmanuel Macron met with Trump at the White House Monday.

The European-backed General Assembly resolution was adopted with 93 votes in favor. It notes “with concern the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation has persisted for three years and continues to have devastating and long-lasting consequences not only for Ukraine, but also for other regions and global stability” and “calls for a de-escalation, an early cessation of hostilities and a peaceful resolution of the war against Ukraine.”

It also demands that Russia “immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw all of its military forces from the territory of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders.”

The US had introduced a rival General Assembly resolution, which did not call Russia the aggressor or acknowledge Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

It “implores a swift end to the conflict and further urges a lasting peace between Ukraine and Russia.” It mourns “the tragic loss of life throughout the Russia-Ukraine conflict” and reiterates “the principal purpose of the United Nations, as expressed in the United Nations Charter, is to maintain international peace and security and to peacefully settle disputes.”

The US introduced the same resolution at the Security Council. It ed with 10 votes in favor, including from Russia, and five abstentions after European efforts to delay the meeting failed. Proposed amendments to strengthen the language, which were added to the US General Assembly resolution, did not in the Security Council due to vetoes from Russia.

Russian Ambassador to the UN Vasily Nebenzya commended the brief, three-paragraph US resolution as a starting point for future efforts toward a peaceful settlement.

“The text we ed is not an ideal one, but in essence, it is a first attempt to have a constructive and future-oriented product by the Council which is talking about the path to peace, rather than blowing the conflict up,” he said.

US charge d’affaires Dorothy Shea called the resolution’s age the Security Council’s first action “to firmly call for an end to the conflict.”

“This resolution puts us on the path to peace. It is a first step, but a crucial one, one of which we should all be proud now we must use it to build a peaceful future for Ukraine, Russia and the international community,” she said after the vote.

However, Shea’s European counterparts had strong words in response to its age.

“There will be no peace and security anywhere if aggressions are rewarded, and if the law of the jungle wins,” French Ambassador to the UN Nicolas de Rivière said.

“No one wants peace more than Ukraine, but the of that peace matter,” UK Ambassador to the UN Barbara Woodward said. “Only a just peace, one that honors the of our charter, will endure.”

“And the of the peace must send a message that aggression does not pay. This is why there can be no equivalence between Russia and Ukraine in how this council refers to this war,” she said. “If we are to find a path to sustainable peace, the Council must be clear on the war’s origins. We also owe it to the people of Ukraine, who have suffered so much.”

“Russia chose to launch a war of aggression against a sovereign state, but again, today, is seeking to obfuscate that fact,” Woodward said.

“What, how and on what this war ends can only be decided by negotiations with Ukraine. No peace will be sustainable without Ukraine’s consent,” she said.

Earlier in the day at the General Assembly, Shea had urged member states to back the US resolution and said the US “cannot Ukraine’s resolution, and we urge its withdrawal in favor of a strong statement committing us to end the war and work towards a lasting peace.”

The US ended up abstaining on the vote for its own resolution at the General Assembly after several amendments were ed ahead of the vote to strengthen the language against Russia and reaffirm Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

The end is near.

Donald Trump is on the path to destroy America.

Once he’s killed in office. That’s the beginning of the end of great America.

A new world order will arise in the Middle East.

Babylon will fall to never rise again.

America, the great Babylon.

Don't care how they voted. The most important thing is putting an end to this needless war. Innocent men and woman have died (on both sides) and that needs to stop

This was on this front page yesterday. How Manny times will it make frontpage?

Botragelad.. who you go on this matter..US or EU

Like the "Village Idiot" said, Zelensky could have avoided all this from the beginning...

Submitting to a powerful foe might be the best or only soln sometimes..
The Mexican President chose this path during the deportation wahala with President Trump

TenQ:

Do you even know what Russia wanted from Ukraine?

Lets Assume that Zelensky did not fight Russia back and capitulatd before Putin,
1. Would Putin still have annexed as minimum the donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzia Oblasts of Ukraine?
2. As of today, using military force, has Putin been able to achieve this objective fully?
3. Is it true that much of what Putin has captured has been in ruins through bombardments by Russian soldiers?
4. Will you it that Russia being the attacking side has lost at least 2 soldiers for every one soldier lost by Ukraine?

Deportation is different from someone sayi g ur country is illegitimate ND he want to take all of it.... Grow up boy, grow up!

When you reach a certain point in life, you will understand that there is nothing that is bigger and beyond negotiation and compromise...
President Trump was planning to invade Panama based on China's influence, The Panamian Leader then released a statement agreeing to President Trump's term by curbing the Chinese activities..

Using that as a yardstick, when President Putin was planning to invade Ukraine using Nato hip as an excuse, by deferring or cancelling the Nato application would have put the war on hold. I still maintain that the war is a senseless one caused by President Zelensky.

No major world power will like to have his direct enemy set a base at his backyard

At the end Russian won in all in all.

When I saw d headline I knew it was coming from CNN and behold I wasn't disappointed.
In Trump's voice "CNN fake news"

Ukraine messed up. Russia has every right to invade cos Ukraine clearly wanted to be used as an attack dog by Europe

Russia is not the enemy. The liberal west is the real enemy

Some Nairaland self-acclaimed political wizards were talking nonsense about a Trump-led US worsening the Ukraine-Russia situation because Trump is a war monger.

I hope they are choking heavily on those USAID-pies now. Trump and Putin always had mutual respect for one another. This war will die a natural death with time as should be.

When will USA destroy itself for sponsoring terrorism worldwide?

I read this news for just early morning cruise.
If not weitin concern Nigeria with what Russia and Ukraine is doing to each other.

Russia and US have always being allies for years until satanists vowed to take over Russia. Russia refused to allow George Soros bring his fake regime change in the name of democracy.

Democrats are the Russian enemies not Republicans.

Americans have fought side by side with Russia to destroy Nazis and Hitler.

Russia gave Alaska oil rich land to America for a penny.

You leftists should focus on your LGBTQ and leave foreign relationship to conservative .

This same Russia built NASA together with the USA. USA was using Russian rockets. Russia even sided with USA against sadam Hussein and Taliban.

What's wrong with you people?

Halla mother Russia 🪆

This vote confirms that Trump is Putin's mole in the US. He's a KGB foreign asset in the white house. take it or leave it. More events will unfold in the following years

Its normal.

It's also worth mentioning that Israel also voted against the resolution, even Iran which is staunch Russia ally was an absentee. These people don't care about good or bad they only care about their interests. That's why am sorry for some Nigerians that carry their matter for head

International relations is about interest not sentiment.

You need to come see how furious these European countries were yesterday😅😅.
I love how trump is handling dem, thank God for the incoming German chancellor who's also going to align with mr trump.

Zelensky is a tyrant and should step down

wait what....
