U.S. Seeks U.N. Resolution Amid Ukraine Conflict Anniversary Push

The United States urges the U.N. Security Council to vote on a draft resolution recognizing the anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The move places the U.S. against Ukraine and the EU, who have their draft text. The situation sparks tension as diplomatic negotiations continue.

The United States is advocating for a U.N. Security Council vote on its draft resolution marking the third anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, according to diplomats. This initiative positions the U.S. at odds with Ukraine and the EU, who have been working on their draft version.

Amid negotiations, the U.S. declined to co-sponsor the resolution drafted by Ukraine and the EU, instead proposing its own version for a General Assembly vote. The U.S. also submitted this draft to the Security Council late on Friday, though no vote date is set.

The U.S. push for action at the U.N. follows efforts by former President Donald Trump to mediate peace, causing a rift with Ukraine's President Zelenskiy. Diplomatic tensions rise as the U.N. aims to uphold its role in maintaining international peace.
