The United States joined Russia in voting against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia's war against Ukraine, marking a significant shift in US policy.

The European-backed General Assembly resolution was adopted with 93 votes in favor and calls for Russia to withdraw its military forces from Ukraine.

The US introduced a rival resolution at both the General Assembly and the Security Council, which did not label Russia as the aggressor or acknowledge Ukraine's territorial integrity.

The US resolution passed in the Security Council with 10 votes in favor, including from Russia, and five abstentions, but failed to pass proposed amendments to strengthen its language.

European representatives expressed strong opposition to the US resolution, emphasizing the importance of a just peace that acknowledges the origins of the conflict and Ukraine's sovereignty.
