US joins Russia to vote against UN resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine Ambassador Dorothy Camille Shea, Chargé d’Affaires ad interim of the United States, speaks during a United Nations General Assembly meeting for a special session at the United Nations headquarters on February 24, in New York City. — 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.
