The United States on Monday broke away from its European allies by declining to hold Russia able for its invasion of Ukraine during votes on three United Nations resolutions aimed at ending the three-year conflict.

In the UN General Assembly (UNGA), the resolution called for “advancing a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in Ukraine”; it also called for de-escalation, the early cessation of hostilities and the peaceful resolution of the war.

Separately, the UN Security Council adopted a US-drafted resolution, titled The Path to Peace, which calls for an immediate end to the conflict and advocates for lasting peace. This resolution did not level any accusations against Russia and posed the conflict in neutral as a war between Moscow and Kyiv.

Finally, the US abstained from voting on its own competing resolution at the UNGA after several amendments were made to strengthen the language condemning Russia.

Below is a breakdown of how each country voted on the first of the three resolutions — the UNGA resolution that did , calling for the cessation of hostilities in New York City on Monday:

Putin's invasion in Ukraine required the 193 member body to reafirm Kyiv's territorial integrity and called for Russia to withdraw its forces in tune with the UN's charter. The resolution was ed but had less , many abstained to avoid a tricky tension created by Trump.
Washington's diplomats had urged other countries to vote against the measures, and instead US potential resolution. However, US took a neutral stance on the war. It would have seemed unthinkable seeing US and Russia on the same side of a coin given past antecedents.
While many countries abstained, Nigeria took a stand and voted in favour of Russia's forces moving their ass out of Ukraine 's territory. It however, affirms the strength and will power of Nigeria being a power house, never cowering, never intimidated.
I recalled a former foreign minister advising Tinubu to not get into any friction with Trump. Damn the consequences!, Nigeria is the giant of Africa. And behind the wheel is a man who does not grovel at the feet of no one.
Following the suspension of USAID, the President immediately ordered the release of $1billion for the continuity of medical programs and an additional $3.2million to procure HIV treatment packs. That was a big punch right back at Trump's face. Additionally, he instructed the ministers of foreign affairs to make sure Nigeria deportees were respectfully brought back, with directives that they must be flown down to Lagos specifically. The US Ambassador got the memo and did exactly that.
Mr President never go sulking to Trump as did the Presidents of Brazil, Mexico and Colombia when their citizens were deported in handcuffs.
The world is witnessing two raving megalomaniacs rolling over each other in a couple's bed while Gaza and Ukraine are being forced to remove the beddings and do the laundry.
We will see if Europe and BRICS could see through their skulls when these two blocs meet to make their decisions.

Only US vote is 1 zillion

Politics

Russia, the United States, Hungary and ISRAEL voted against a Ukrainian resolution proposal at the UN that calls Russia an aggressor and calls on it to withdraw from Ukrainian territory to its recognized borders.


To all those who were shocked by Israel’s vote in the United Nations against Ukraine:

Just a reminder that in the last decade, Ukraine voted against Israel in the UN General Assembly 122 times,
Abstained 41 times, and voted in favor of Israel 0 times.

With Trump as America's president..........

Expect More Wars and Disasters

They don't even need to vote. United States practices democratic dictatorship.

Nigeria should abstain not voting. We need to learn how to play international politics. You want to be part of BRICS yet you are voting against one of them. No be mumu be that.

Devil's Advocate in play.

Rubbish

What is actually our stand in international diplomacy?
What actually is Nigeria doing in BRICS if you don't share the same diplomatic ideology with them.
With this, I see Nigeria on the middle of no where on international politics.

If you're pro-west then have nothing to do with BRICS and of you're for BRICS, stand with them.
If you want to be neutral then be.

Wetin unitef inside united nations..para..rara

Disunited united nations... para...rara

East west bloc versus west bloc east..para.rara


1 veto vote is equal to 92 or more - para..rara..


Rest in peace baba Fela.

A big lie. US vote is the same as , Russia, , China and other of the security council. Stop saying nonsense.

The same US is being neutral about the war, yet they have been in forefront massively sponsoring Ukraine in alms and in arms.
