The U.S. has proposed its own UN resolution regarding the war in Ukraine.

The U.S. draft resolution, consisting of three paragraphs, expresses sorrow over the loss of life during the "Russian-Ukrainian conflict" and reaffirms that "the primary goal of the United Nations is to maintain international peace and security and to resolve disputes peacefully." The resolution also "calls for an immediate end to the conflict and the establishment of lasting peace between Ukraine and Russia," as detailed by "Voice of America".

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the proposed Washington draft as "a simple and historic project." Rubio emphasized that the American administration urges all countries to support it "to pave the way for peace." "This resolution aligns with President Trump's view that the UN must return to its primary purpose, as enshrined in the organization's charter, to maintain international peace and security, including through peaceful dispute resolution," Rubio stated in a statement.

Russian Ambassador to the UN Vasily Nebenzya referred to the American draft as "a good step." Russia proposed an amendment to add the phrase "including by addressing its root causes" after the words "calls for an immediate end to the conflict." One anonymous Russian diplomat told Reuters that if the Russian amendment is accepted, Moscow will vote in favor of the American resolution.

Earlier, Ukraine and its European allies proposed their own text, which they planned to present on Monday at the General Assembly. It emphasizes the necessity of implementing previous UN resolutions that demanded Russia withdraw its troops from the internationally recognized territory of Ukraine and insisted that Moscow cease military actions.

The text prepared by Ukraine and the EU also "confirms the urgent need to end the war this year and to double diplomatic efforts to reduce the risks of further escalation and achieve lasting peace." For the first time since the onset of the full-scale war, the U.S. did not co-author such a joint project.

According to a report by Bloomberg citing sources, the U.S. is attempting to block the Ukrainian resolution at the UN and instead support the American text. The Washington Post also reports on pressure from the U.S. on Kyiv regarding the document.

• The authorities in Ukraine and European leaders have expressed concerns that they may be sidelined in the negotiation process after Donald Trump began contacts with Moscow, promising to end the three-year war in Ukraine as soon as possible. Secretary of State Marco Rubio assured that Kyiv and Europe will also be involved. In recent days, Trump has made several sharp comments about the Ukrainian president, referring to him as a "dictator without elections" and questioning the necessity of Zelensky's presence at meetings. Trump noted that Zelensky had three years prior for negotiations. Vladimir Zelensky stated that Trump lives "in a space of disinformation."
• General Assembly resolutions are not legally binding but carry political weight, reflecting a global perspective on the war. No country has veto power in the assembly.
• On the eve of the first anniversary of the war in 2023, 141 out of 193 member countries voted to condemn the Russian invasion.
