US joins Russia to vote against UN resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine

The United States joined Russia to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine Monday in a stunning shift from years of US policy.

The vote against the Ukrainian and European-backed resolution saw the US at odds with its longtime European allies and instead aligned with the aggressor in the war on the three-year anniversary of Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

It came as the Trump administration has pursued discussions with Moscow about ending the war as the President Donald Trump has ratcheted up his rhetoric towards Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The resolution was adopted by the General Assembly with 93 votes in favor.

Notice how the UN and Eruope want more war but they never offer any way to win.

They want war but not to win and the vote against peace. Evil to the core.

This is so perverted. It boggles the imagination. Russia our best friend now? People fighting for their lives, for their freedom are our worst enemies?

Trump would have chosen that one if he wanted it.

Who cares about looks?

NATO FORCED This war..Russia could not allow another 1000 MILES of possible nukes at their doorstop.

Very possible, once Ukraine joined NATO

We almost went to war over this in Cuba. Russia backed down.

They are fighting for their “freedom” because a corrupt govt listening toa corrupt NATO got them into it.

And I didn’t read where we passed a resolutoin saying Russia is our best friend now.

Such dramatics :)

Trump isn’t stupid. He knows what putin is. So do I.

But even a broken clock..

Yep. You beat me to it. A mediator in a conflict - and that’s what Trump is - should look neutral and impartial.

But maybe the vote is a strategic one, meant to put more pressure on Zelensky. So there’s that.

The UN resolution is worthless and useless and uncalled for, but, it’s never a good look to join with Russia against a resolution which was meant against the Russian aggression in Ukraine.

Abstention would have been better. Don’t give either side the appearance of being the favorite in a war that’s being negotiated to an end.

The United Nations has become irrelevant and Trump needs to reclaim the building to house homeless veterans and run the despots out of the country.

Hungary and Israel joined the US and Russia in voting against. There’s a very big deal cooking.

I agree with President Trump. He’s negotiating an end to the war right now and things are moving quickly. The resolution is a distraction.
