US refuses to co-sponsor UN motion backing Ukraine ahead of war anniversary, diplomats say
The US is reportedly refusing to co-sponsor a UN resolution condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine and backing Ukraine's territorial integrity. This marks a potential shift in Washington's stance and comes as the three-year anniversary of the invasion approaches. The US has also objected to similar language in a planned G7 statement.
This decision follows reports of a growing rift between Ukrainian President Zelensky and US President Trump, who is reportedly seeking a swift end to the war. Trump's administration recently sent a team to Saudi Arabia for talks with Russia, excluding Kyiv. The US's reluctance to support the resolution raises questions about its approach to the upcoming anniversary and its commitment to previous expressions of condemnation against Russia.
