Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhiy Tykhyi commented on the American resolution adopted by the UN Security Council (UNSC), which calls for peace between Russia and Ukraine.
Marking a sharp U-turn in policy, the US led a ‘neutral’ resolution on Ukraine at the UN Security Council, omitting any mention of Russia’s aggression or Ukraine’s territorial integrity. The move signals a major shift under President Donald Trump,
The dueling resolutions reflect the tensions that have emerged between the US and Ukraine after Trump suddenly opened negotiations with Russia in a bid to quickly resolve the conflict.
The UN Security Council has adopted the US-drafted resolution on the conflict in Ukraine in its original form, rejecting amendments by both European countries and Russia, a TASS correspondent reported.
Russia views the resolution on the conflict in Ukraine adopted by the UN Security Council as a starting point for further efforts to peacefully settle the crisis, the country's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya said.
US support for Moscow resolution, rejection of EU’s, illustrates deepening division between Washington and allies.
