Exclusive: US will not co-sponsor UN motion backing Ukraine

The U.S. is refusing to co-sponsor a draft U.N. resolution marking three years since Moscow's invasion of Ukraine that backs Kyiv's territorial integrity and condemns Russian aggression, three diplomatic sources told Reuters, in a potential stark shift by Ukraine's most powerful Western ally.

The step appears to mirror a widening rift between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and U.S. President Donald Trump, who is trying to rapidly end the war in Ukraine and whose team has held talks with Russia without the involvement of Kyiv.

The row is a major political crisis for Ukraine, which has used tens of billions of dollars of U.S. military aid agreed under the previous U.S. administration to weather Russia's invasion and also benefited from diplomatic support.

The draft resolution for the U.N. General Assembly, seen by Reuters, condemns Russian aggression and reaffirms a commitment "to the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognised borders".

4. Isn't time for Trump (as a real American Conservative) to remove the U.S. from the security counsel and all leadership

roles?

Might give the world a better outcome.

5. We are a world embarrassment now

There is no respect for the U.S. anywhere. The places where pres dump think we have respect, like russia are just using him for their own agendas. He's really a stupid ass as are those who voted for him.

6. putin knew that if he held out until the elections, trump would remove the sanctions

They were slow and small but slowly quite effective. And just when they were starting to bite, along comes trump to putin's rescue.

12. Sign a different document excluding Russuan or Russian-puppet participation.

Affirm that the United States does indeed continue to back Ukraine. Democrats need to be in 'government-exile' mode, excepting we're we're operating in a far stronger position than that.

13. I hope our new UN ambassador (Stefanik??) gets shunned and minimized with every word that comes out

her mouth. Make her persona non grata.

14. This is unconscionable!

The POS in the Oval Office is a dangerous lunatic.

The less talent they have, the more pride, vanity, and arrogance they have. All these fools, however, find other fools who applaud them! Erasmus, 1509
