The U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, welcomed the resolution passed by the United Nations Security Council that supports the path to peace between Ukraine and Russia.
In a highlighted message, Rubio emphasized that genuine and committed leadership is essential to address global issues, and he viewed this agreement as a crucial step towards ending the conflict.
"We are committed to ending this conflict and restoring the fundamental mission of the United Nations: to maintain international peace and security," he stated in a message on his social media.
In another conversation with Michael Boyle (@MBoyle1), the Cuban-American reiterated that the war must come to a definitive and sustainable conclusion. "The war between Russia and Ukraine must end. It must end in a way that is lasting," Rubio stated.
His statements refer to the fact that the UN Security Council adopted a resolution on Ukraine on Monday that received support from Russia; however, it was controversial because it did not include any criticism of Moscow's aggression on the third anniversary of its invasion.
The resolution received the support of ten countries, including Russia, China, and the African and Asian countries on the Council, while the five European countries abstained, and both France and the United Kingdom refused to exercise their veto power.
The acting U.S. ambassador, Dorothy Shea, stated that it was a historic agreement; although she did not mention that the countries rejected several amendments proposed by the U.S. and successfully included some pro-Ukraine amendments.
In the afternoon, the defeat of the American proposals from the morning was somehow corrected; however, it highlighted the differences between the United States and its European allies, with whom it is already at odds over various issues ranging from tariffs, territorial claims (Greenland), and Washington's political interventions in several European countries.
