The US voted against a European-backed UN resolution condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, aligning with Moscow, North Korea, and Belarus. Instead, Washington pushed its own resolution at the UN Security Council, calling for an end to the war but omitting criticism of Russia. The move, marking a major shift under the Trump administration, stunned European allies, with the UK and France abstaining. "This posture is a dramatic shift from American ideals," said US Senator John Curtis. Ukrainian officials condemned the US stance, calling it a strategic realignment. The votes coincided with French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Washington.
