Trump Administration refuses to condemn Russia in international instances, leaving Ukraine more alone in negotiations that
The United States will not support a resolution of the United Nations (UN) that will mark the three years of, on February 24, in another decision confirming that the Trump administration is distanced from support to Kiev, while starting to narrow relationships with Moscow.
According to the Reuters agency, which cites three diplomatic sources, the US government has decided not to sign the resolution that will defend the territorial integrity of Ukraine and which will again ask for the departure of the invaded Russian troops.
In one point, that of territorial integrity, Donald Trump has already made its position very clear: Ukraine will not recover all lost territory, namely in Donbass, much less the Crimea Peninsula, which Kiev continues to demand, despite the annexation occurred In 2014.
According to Reuters, the resolution will ask for a “broken, a brief end of hostilities and a resolution of peace in the war against Ukraine, in line with the United Nations Charter and International Law.”
It also calls for a “total application of resolutions adopted in response to aggression against Ukraine”, as well as the “immediate, total and unconditional exit of the Russian military forces from the Ukraine territory”.
In parallel, the Trump administration has also decided that the United States will be out of a G7 statement that will nickname Russia by agrensor. According to the, which cites five western sources, until the participation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, at the meeting is at risk after recent Kiev and Washington DC.
The group that brings together the world’s largest economies usually issued communications on important war dates, as will be February 24, but Trump’s envoys are blocking the new note, namely because of the expression “Russian aggression.” “The Americans are blocking this language, but we are still working and we expect an agreement,” said one responsible to the British newspaper.
Donald Trump is trying to end with the war as soon as possible, but this has a closer closing to Russia and a Ukraine put in the apparent backner, which has gained strength with criticism from the US President Volodymyr Zelensky, whom He called the “dictator”, and said he was responsible for the beginning of the war.
The Ukrainian allies, with the United States of Joe Biden to the head, have reiterated support for Kiev on these round dates, always condemning Russia and what they understand to be a large -scale invasion. Now there seems to be a clear and marked change in the American position.
In the case of the UN, countries may or may not decide to support a resolution to the date of the vote, which will take place next Monday at the General Assembly composed of 193 Member States. Although not binding, this kind of resolutions helps to mark a political agenda and reflect the global view on a subject.
“In recent years, the United States has constantly supported resolutions of this genre to support fair peace in Ukraine,” recalled one of the sources of Reuters agency.
It doesn’t seem to be the case this time.
And in G7 the situation is similar. The statement is due to leave next Monday, but the United States do not seem willing to put its signature there. The group’s latest statement was signed by all foreign ministers a week ago. Although he did not refer to “Russian aggression,” he spoke in a “devastating war of Russia in Ukraine.”
