US resolution at the UN on the war in Ukraine
The United States has submitted a draft UN resolution on the third anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The document differs significantly from the version prepared by Ukraine and its European allies.
The US document does not mention Ukraine's territorial integrity and does not include criticism of Russia.
On February 24, the UN General Assembly is scheduled to vote on a draft resolution prepared by Ukraine and the EU calling for de-escalation, an early cessation of hostilities, and a peaceful settlement in accordance with the UN Charter and international law. The EU's permanent representatives to the UN are expected to discuss the US proposal beforehand.
