United Nations – To the third anniversary of Russian Invasion of UkraineUN General Assembly is expected to vote on Monday Dueling resolution – The Ukrainian European supported proposal requires the direct withdrawal of Russian forces from the country and the US call at the fast end of the war that never mentions Moscow aggression.
The The United States pressed Ukraine to withdraw Their insecure resolution in favor of his proposal, an American officer and the European diplomat, said Sunday. But Ukraine refused, and will be set up in the 193-nation vote, they stated two European diplomats. Everyone talked about the state of anonymity because the talks were private.
It’s a reflection Tensions that appeared between the US and Ukraine After the President Donald Trump suddenly opened negotiations with Russia on offer to resolve the conflict quickly. It also underlines the stress in a transatlantic alliance with Europe over the extraordinary transport of the Trump Administration on the engagement with the broscope. European leaders were slaughtered that they and Ukraine remained outside Preliminary conversations Last week.
In the reasons of rhetoric, Trump has called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy “Dictator”, falsely accused Kiev the beginning of the war and warned that he “Better to move quickly” negotiate the end of the conflict or risk that do not have a leading nation. Zelenskyy replied by saying that Trump lives in the Russian “misinformation space”.
Since then, Trump administration not only refused only to approve UN Ukraine’s resolution, but at the last minute proposed to their own competitive resolution and pressed his allies to support that version. Comes as Trump plans to host French president Emmanuel Macron Monday in Washington.
The USA also wanted to vote on their proposal in a stronger UN Security Council. China, which holds the Presidency of the Council this month, scheduled him for Monday afternoon.
The General Assembly became the most important Body of the UN in Ukraine, because the 15-Member Security Council, charged with the maintenance of international peace and security, paralyzed by Russian veto power.
There are no veto in the Assembly, and in Ukraine resolution, which sponsored all 27 members of the European Union, it is almost safe. His voices were closely seen as a globometer of world thinking, but the resolutions passed there are not legally binding, unlike those adopted by the Security Council.
Since the forces of Russia went through the border on 24th, 20. February, the General Assembly approved half a dozen resolutions that convicted in Moscow invasion and sought the immediate extraction of Russian troops.
Voices of rival resolutions – who caused intensive lobbying and twisting, said one European diplomat – will be carefully seen whether that support that has advocated and assessed the support for the Goods of Goods.
The very shortest draft resolution acknowledges the “tragic loss of life throughout Russia-Ukraine’s conflict” and “begs a quick end in the conflict and further calls for lasting peace between Ukraine and Russia.” Never mentions Moscow invasion.
The UN Russian Ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, told reporters last week that the American resolution was a “good move.”
Resolution of Ukraine, meanwhile, relates to “full invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation” and reminds the need to implement all previous resolutions on the Assembly “adopted in response to aggression against Ukraine.”
They stand out, at the request of the Assembly, ask Russia “immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraws all its military forces from the territory of Ukraine in its internationally recognized borders.”
He emphasizes that any involvement of northern Korean troops fighting together with Russian forces “sets serious concerns regarding the further escalation of this conflict.”
The resolution confirms the commitment of the Assembly in the sovereignty of Ukraine and also “that there is no territorial acquisition due to the threat or use of force as legally.”
Calls for “escalation removal, early termination of hostilities and peaceful resolution against Ukraine” and repeats “urgently to end the war this year.”
