The UN General Assembly adopted the Ukrainian and American resolutions with Polish amendments
The UN General Assembly adopted a Ukrainian resolution Monday condemning Russian aggression. The assembly also adopted an originally neutral American resolution with amendments proposed by Poland, among others, calling the war Russian aggression.
The Ukrainian resolution was voted in favor of by 93 countries, with 18 against and 65 abstentions. Those opposed included the United States and Russia, as well as Hungary and Israel – but not China, which abstained.
In addition, the General Assembly – by a vote of 93-8-73 – also adopted a resolution submitted by the US, which initially only expressed regret over the “tragic loss of life in the conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine”, did not condemn the Russian invasion and reiterated that the main goal of the UN is to maintain international peace and security and to resolve disputes peacefully.
The text of this resolution was amended by amendments submitted by, among others, Poland and 23 EU countries. As a result of the amendments, the document states that the war in Ukraine is a "full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation". The second amendment reaffirms the "commitment to the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders", while the third calls for a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in Ukraine that respects the principles of the UN Charter and the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity".
The US criticised the amendments as “intended to wage a war of words rather than to end it”. After the amendments were adopted, the US abstained from voting on the document it had originally submitted. Russia, North Korea, Mali, Niger, Nicaragua, Belarus, Sudan and Burkina Faso voted against it.
Introduced by Ukraine and supported by most Western countries – including Poland – the resolution is based on the text of the resolution voted on by the General Assembly immediately after the Russian invasion in 2022. It condemns Russian aggression, calls for de-escalation and demands the immediate and complete withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukrainian territory, and reaffirms commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity.
In contrast, the draft resolution originally proposed by the US – and supported by Hungary and Georgia – is a short text that merely expressed regret over the “tragic loss of life in the conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine,” does not condemn the Russian invasion and reiterates that the main purpose of the UN is to maintain international peace and security and to resolve disputes peacefully. It contains only one paragraph that calls for a lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine and a speedy end to the conflict.
The US has also submitted a similar resolution to the UN Security Council, which will be held on Monday afternoon (9 p.m. Polish time). As Reuters wrote, the US has been pressing – unsuccessfully – Ukraine to withdraw its resolution.
"We are fighting for a world that cannot be divided by any other country (…) It cannot be determined by another Yalta conference," said Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Marianna Beca in her speech.
Deputy Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations Dorothy Shea said in her speech that previous UN condemnations and demands for Russian forces to withdraw from Ukraine "have not stopped the war" and that the American resolution "looks forward, not back" and is "focused on a simple idea: ending the war."
Russian Ambassador Vasily Nebenzia praised the American initiative as a “step in the right direction,” but tabled an amendment to the text, saying it was necessary to “eliminate the root causes of the Ukrainian crisis.” The diplomat also approvingly referred to the change in American policy.
