United Nations, February 25: India abstained on a series of resolutions on Ukraine and amendments at the General Assembly that saw the US break ranks with its Western allies and side with Russia on some of them showing the ruptures and realignments under President Donald Trump. Challenging Trump on the third anniversary of Russia슬롯사이트™s invasion on Tuesday, the Western nations managed to pass two resolutions naming Moscow as the aggressor in Ukraine.

In a strange spectacle, the US joined Russia to vote against a resolution put forward by Ukraine and Western nations condemning Russia슬롯사이트™s invasion, while China abstained. The resolution was adopted with 93 votes for it, and 18 against it, with 65 abstentions.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Donald Trump Expresses Hope Russia슬롯사이트™s War in Ukraine Nearing Endgame as US President Meets With French President Emmanuel Macron (See Pics and Video).

In the environment of confrontation, the votes were significantly lower than the 141 votes a similar resolution received in 2023. (India had abstained on that vote). A Washington-sponsored resolution that did not name Russia as the invader was cleverly amended at the initiative of Western nations to call out Moscow as the aggressor in Ukraine. A peeved US abstained on the resolution it had proposed after the amendments presented by France슬롯사이트™s Permanent Representative Nicolas De Riviere while President Emmanuel Macron was in Washington to meet Trump were adopted.

The US, which is directly discussing with Russia a peace deal for Ukraine, views the condemnation of Moscow as interfering with its initiative. Trump spoke with Russia슬롯사이트™s President Vladimir Putin and his representatives met with Moscow in Riyadh to explore a way to end the war that began on February 24, 2022, and has devasted Ukraine and taken a toll on Russia also.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Donald Trump-Vladimir Putin Summit Preparations Underway, Russia Says As Washington Ends Moscow슬롯사이트™s Isolation Over Its War in Ukraine.

Justifying not assigning blame, Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday called it 슬롯사이트œa simple, historic resolution슬롯사이트� to 슬롯사이트œchart a path to peace슬롯사이트�. Repeating that at the Assembly, acting US Permanent Representative Dorothy Shea said the previous resolutions that condemned Russia resolutions 슬롯사이트œhave failed to stop the war슬롯사이트�.

The US resolution 슬롯사이트œlooks forward, not backwards슬롯사이트�, she said, 슬롯사이트œThis is a moment of truth -- a historic moment슬롯사이트�. 슬롯사이트œThis has never been about Ukraine슬롯사이트� and the resolution will address the global impact of war슬롯사이트�, she said. The Russia-sponsored amendment to Ukraine슬롯사이트™s resolution to insert 슬롯사이트œroot causes슬롯사이트� of the conflict failed with the US abstaining, getting only 31 votes, while 71 voted against it and 59 abstained.

The France-sponsored amendments to the US invoking the UN Charter and condemning Russia슬롯사이트™s invasion were adopted turning it on its head despite Washington슬롯사이트™s and Moscow슬롯사이트™s negative votes.
