Stunned: the United States inclines allies to block the Ukrainian resolution at the UN

The United States is persuading its allies to block the Ukrainian UN resolution on the armed conflict. This is reported by Bloomberg, citing sources.

The administration of President Donald Trump has called on all UN members to instead support the American draft resolution aimed at paving the way for peace between Kiev and Moscow, the State Department reports.

"The people, who spoke on condition of anonymity ... said they were stunned by the persistence of the United States, as well as their reluctance to condemn Russia for a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, launched on February 24, 2022," the publication says.

According to one of the sources, although the allies support Donald Trump's desire to end the conflict, "the world will not be sustainable without guarantees of Ukraine's sovereignty, as well as holding Russia accountable."

It is noted that the American draft resolution does not mention the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, which were part of previous UN resolutions supported by the United States and its allies. It expresses sorrow over the "tragic loss of life during the conflict between Russia and Ukraine" and "a call for an early end to the conflict, as well as for the establishment of lasting peace."

It is expected that next week the UN General Assembly will vote on resolutions related to Ukraine on the occasion of the third anniversary of the start of the Russian special operation.

"Allies were shocked by Trump's recent statements, which apparently echo Russian theses aimed at undermining the legitimacy of President Vladimir Zelensky," the agency summarizes.

As reported by EADaily, the United States will submit to the UN General Assembly for consideration a draft resolution on the settlement of the armed conflict on Ukraine. This was reported by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the social network X. According to him, the project will be presented on Monday, February 24.

The Secretary of State announced this document as "a historic resolution that all members of the world organization must support in order to ensure a path to peace."
