The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, announced on Saturday the unilateral presentation before the United Nations General Assembly of a “simple and historical” proposal for resolution to end the Ukraine War through a “lasting peace.”
The Rubio statement does not present the text itself but the DPA agency has been made with a copy of the proposal, very concise, which is limited to regret the loss of lives and to implore a rapid ending to the conflict. Contrast with another statement backed by Europe that requires the “immediate, complete and unconditional” withdrawal of Ukraine of the Moscow forces, something that the White House does not include in its resolution project.
The American proposal does not explicitly hold Russia for the invasion or call it as an aggressor, as the European does.
In his announcement, published in his account of the social network X, Rubio explains that the president of the United States, Donald Trump, “is committed to ending the war between Russia and Ukraine and to achieve a resolution that leads to a lasting peace, Not only to a temporary pause. “
Rubio defends the importance of ending a conflict that “has extended too much time and has had a price too terrible for Ukraine and Russia.” Therefore, the United States “has proposed a simple and historical resolution in the United Nations” and calls for the support of all its members to “draw a path to peace.”
“This resolution is consistent with the opinion of President Trump that the UN must return to its founding purpose, enshrined in the UN Charter, to maintain international peace and security, including the peaceful solution of disputes,” he said Blond.
The US Secretary of State estimates that “if the United Nations are really committed to their original purpose, it must be recognized that, although challenges may arise, the objective of a lasting peace remains attainable.”
“By supporting this resolution, we affirm that this conflict is terrible, that the UN can help end and that peace is possible,” added the Secretary of State.
“We firmly believe that this is the time to commit ourselves to ending the war. This is our opportunity to generate a real impulse towards peace. We urge all the United Nations Member States to join the United States in this solemn Task, “Rubio concluded.
Sources from the Russian Agency TASS have confirmed that Russia has taken note of the US proposal and has asked to amend the resolution project of the United States General Assembly on Ukraine with an addition that calls for “addressing the fundamental causes of the conflict”.
