UN: The UN Security Council on Monday approved a US draft resolution on the third anniversary of the invasion of Russia Ukraine, which takes a neutral position on the conflict because US President Donald Trump Broker Attempts Do
The short resolution reflects on the abolition of Trump’s US policy on Ukraine after taking power last month and further agreeing to Russia. On the contrary, the former president Joe Biden’s administration led efforts to support Ukraine during the entire war in the United Nations.
Russia’s UN ambassador to Nabinzia acknowledged “constructive changes” in the US position regarding the conflict. He told the council that the resolution was “not ideal”, but “a point for future efforts for a peaceful settlement.”
The 15 -member UN Security Council was halted during the war and was unable to take any action as Russia held a veto.
But the 193 -member General Assembly has repeatedly supported Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and demanded a fair, lasting and comprehensive peace according to the UN Charter.
The United States failed to persuade the General Assembly earlier Monday to approve the same three paragraph resolution approved by the Security Council.
The resolution mourns the loss of life in the “Russian-Ukrainian conflict”, reaffirms that the UN aim is to maintain international peace and security and resolve peacefully, and conflicts and conflicts. Emphasizes lasting peace.
The Security Council approved the US resolution in favor of 10 votes, while France, Britain, Denmark, Greece and Slovenia avoided. Russia voted in favor after failing to amend the Ukraine -backed language and vetoed European bids.
“This resolution pushes us on the path of peace. This is an first step, but an important step – one of which we must be proud of,” said the US ambassador to the UN Durwati Shi. – “Now we should use it to build a peaceful future for Ukraine, Russia and the international community.”
‘No equilibrium’
However, Trump’s point of view of mediation has caused Ukraine and European allies to focus on Russia and fears they may be away from dialogue to end the war.
British UN Ambassador Barbara Woodward told the Council that the terms of peace are important in Ukraine and “have to send a message that the aggression does not pay.”
He said, “That is why there is no equality between Russia and Ukraine how this council refers to this war. If we want to find a way to sustainable peace, the council should be clear at the beginning of the war. “
French UN Ambassador Nicholas de Require – whose president Emmanuel Macron met Trump in Washington on Monday – said France “is committed to complete peace in Ukraine, we are comprehensive, justice and lasting Demand peace, and definitely not for the victim’s arrest “
Earlier, the General Assembly passed two resolutions, one of which was drafted by Ukraine and European countries, and one was drafted by the United States in which the Assembly amended it to support Ukraine for a long time. The language can be added. These votes gave Ukraine and European states diplomatic victory against Washington.
Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Mariana Batsa told the Assembly ahead of the vote, “This war has never been about Ukraine only. There is about the fundamental right of any country’s existence, choosing your path and staying free from aggression. “”
The amended US draft resolution won in favor of 93 votes in the Assembly, while 73 states avoided it and eight did not vote. Russia failed to try to amend the US text to include a reference to the conflict’s “root reasons”.
The resolution made by Ukraine and European countries passed in favor of 93 votes, 65 piety and 18 votes.
