Trump administration refuses to back UN resolution condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine

Salon  

The United States marked the third anniversary of Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine by siding with Moscow at the United Nations, joining an emerging coalition of autocratic nations in voting against a resolution condemning Kremlin aggression. “As we mark three years of this devastation — Russia’s full invasion against Ukraine — we call on all nations to stand firm and to take … the side of the Charter, the side of humanity and the side of just and lasting peace, peace through strength,” Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Mariana Betsa said Monday. After European countries amended the U.S.- On the Ukraine- In remarks ahead of votes on Monday, Ambassador Dorothy Shea, serving as the top U.S. diplomat at the UN until the Senate confirms former Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., portrayed the Trump administration as focused on ending the war, arguing that past UN resolutions had not achieved that goal. "Since the start of the war 11 years ago, the United Nations has repeatedly condemned Russia’s blatant violations of the UN Charter," Shea said, referencing Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014.
