The US voted with Russia against UN

In a dramatic shift from past US policy, the US voted with Russia against a UN General Assembly resolution denouncing Russia's conflict in Ukraine.

This change put the US at odds with its European partners and came three years after Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. With 93 votes in favour, the resolution—which called for a peaceful resolution and expressed alarm over the ongoing invasion—was accepted. The US, on the other hand, proposed a competing resolution that failed to recognize Ukraine's territorial integrity or name Russia as the aggressor. "A straightforward, historic statement from the General Assembly that looks forward, not backwards," said Ambassador Dorothy Shea. putting an end to the conflict. There is a route to peace. She underlined that the US opposes backing Ukraine's resolution, calling for a peace-oriented resolution. After revisions intensified the language against Russia and reaffirmed Ukraine's territorial claims, the US ultimately chose not to vote on its own resolution.
