The United States voted against a UN resolution condemning Russian aggression against Ukraine, citing efforts to bring both sides to the negotiating table. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the resolution was not conducive to negotiations.
The US instead supported a separate resolution that avoided blaming Russia directly, with Rubio calling it “very fair language” that acknowledges the devastating effects of war. The resolution passed with 10 votes in favor, while several countries abstained.
