The United States has proposed its own United Nations resolution marking the third anniversary of Russia’s war in Ukraine after refusing to back one drafted by Kyiv and backed by Europe.

The U.S. on Friday proposed a draft United Nations resolution to mark the third anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the proposal pits Washington against an effort by Kyiv and European allies to have their own text adopted on Monday by the General Assembly.

President Donald Trump’s approach to ending Russia’s war against Ukraine has left European allies and Ukrainian officials worried they are being largely sidelined by the new U.S. administration as Washington and Moscow plan direct negotiations.
