On the third anniversary of Russia's invasion, the United Nations General Assembly passed two crucial resolutions:
Ukraine-led Resolution: This resolution condemned Russia’s aggression and demanded a troop withdrawal, with 93 votes in favor, 18 against, and 65 abstentions. Notably, the U.S. voted against it, aligning with Russia in a move that signals a shift in U.S. policy under President Trump’s administration.
U.S.-led "Path to Peace" Resolution: Initially neutral, this resolution was amended to affirm Ukraine’s sovereignty. The U.S. abstained from voting on its own proposal, which passed with 93 votes in favor, 8 against, and 73 abstentions.
The U.N. Security Council also passed a similar U.S.-drafted resolution, with 10 votes in favor and Russia’s support, though France, Britain, Denmark, Greece, and Slovenia abstained after their proposed amendments were vetoed by Russia.
Criticism has been directed at the Trump administration’s direct talks with Russia, which excluded Ukraine from the negotiations. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has firmly rejected any negotiations without Ukraine’s involvement, reinforcing the country’s role in shaping the peace process.
Meanwhile, the U.S. and Russia have agreed to restore embassy staffing and establish a high-level negotiation team. European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, continue to push for a "just and lasting peace" that guarantees Ukraine’s sovereignty, rather than settling for a frozen conflict.
As diplomatic efforts intensify, global attention remains focused on the possibility of finding a peaceful resolution to this ongoing crisis.
