The United States is calling on the United Nations General Assembly to support its resolution commemorating the third anniversary of Russia‘s invasion of Ukraine on Monday. It is urging member states to reject any amendments and to oppose an alternative proposal put forth by Ukraine and its European allies.

In a diplomatic communication sent on Sunday and reviewed by Reuters, the U.S. characterized its concise resolution as “a forward-looking resolution centered on a singular objective: ending the war.”

The note emphasized that through this resolution, member states could generate significant momentum towards achieving international peace and security, which is the primary mission of the United Nations. It requested that countries “vote no on any other resolutions or amendments presented” during the upcoming meeting.

The U.S. draft resolution, introduced on Friday, stands in contrast to the efforts of Ukraine and the European Union, which have been engaged in discussions with U.N. member states over the past month regarding their own resolution on the conflict. Their proposal reiterates the U.N.’s call for Russia to withdraw its forces and cease hostilities.

Since the onset of the war, the 193-member U.N. General Assembly has consistently affirmed Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders. Notably, the U.S. draft does not address this issue. Instead, it expresses sorrow over the loss of life during the “Russia-Ukraine conflict,” reiterates the U.N.’s fundamental role in maintaining international peace and security, and advocates for a prompt resolution to the conflict, urging a sustainable peace between Ukraine and Russia.

The 15-member Security Council is also expected to vote on the same U.S. resolution later on Monday, according to diplomatic sources. For a council resolution to be adopted, it requires at least nine votes in favor and must not face a veto from any of the five permanent members: the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, or France.

The U.S. initiative for U.N. intervention follows President Donald Trump’s efforts to mediate an end to the conflict, which has created tensions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and raised alarms among European allies about potentially being excluded from peace negotiations. On Tuesday, officials from the U.S. and Russia convened for discussions.

The General Assembly is preparing to vote on various proposed amendments to the U.S. draft resolution. Russia has suggested modifications to include a focus on addressing the “root causes” of the conflict, referring to its 2022 invasion as a “special military operation” aimed at “denazifying” Ukraine and countering NATO’s expansion.

Additionally, Britain and 24 EU member states have put forward their own amendments to the U.S. draft within the General Assembly. Their proposals aim to characterize the situation as “the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation,” affirm Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and advocate for a “just, lasting and comprehensive peace” in accordance with the U.N. Charter and the principles of sovereign equality and territorial integrity.

While General Assembly resolutions do not have binding authority, they carry significant political influence, representing a collective international perspective on the conflict. No nation possesses veto power within the assembly.
