The United States had been lobbying countries to oppose a resolution brought forward by Ukraine and European countries at the United Nations General Assembly regarding the war in Ukraine. Despite the efforts, European countries won support for amendments to the U.S. resolution, causing the Trump administration to abstain. The amendments included stronger language denouncing the Russian invasion of Ukraine and emphasizing a commitment to Ukraine’s territorial integrity. The U.S. resolution, with the new language, was adopted by the U.N. General Assembly with 93 votes in favor. Ukraine’s competing resolution also passed with 93 votes in favor. The U.S. actively opposed Ukraine’s resolution, saying it did not align with their goal of achieving lasting peace. Russia, North Korea, Belarus, and Sudan were among the countries that voted against Ukraine’s resolution. The U.S. will bring its resolution to the UN Security Council in hopes of securing support and vetoing any amendments. The Trump administration has indicated that Ukraine may have to give up some territory as part of a peace deal. Despite the differences in resolutions, all parties aim to achieve a lasting peace in Ukraine.
