The war between Ukraine and Russia continues for the last three years. Since US President Donald Trump came to power for the second time, not only is there a change in global geopolitics, but there has been a major and dramatic change in America’s stance on Ukraine War and Russia’s issue. In fact, in the voting on three United Nations resolutions on the demand to end the Ukraine War, the US refused to blame Russia for attack on Ukraine on Monday and showed a different stand from its European colleagues on the issue.
These proposals were made at the United Nations demanding the end of the war that has been released for three years in Ukraine. At the United Nations General Assembly, the US and Russia voted against the proposal of Europe -backed Ukraine. Russia’s aggression was also condemned in the proposal and demanded immediate return of Russian soldiers from Ukraine but the US separated itself from voting on the proposal.
