US Stance on Ukraine
The Kremlin has expressed approval of what it sees as a more balanced approach by the United States regarding the Ukraine conflict, following a recent United Nations Security Council resolution.
Kremlin's Reaction
- Balanced Position: The US's current stance is seen as more balanced, which the Kremlin believes assists in resolving the Ukraine conflict.
- Resolution Support: The Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, highlighted the approval of a US-drafted UN Security Council resolution that avoids assigning blame, calling for peace instead.
US and UN General Assembly Dynamics
- US Opposition: The US opposed a UN General Assembly resolution demanding Russian withdrawal but succeeded with a more neutral Security Council resolution.
- Anniversary Highlight: These votes occurred on the third anniversary of the conflict, indicating a shift in the US position since President Donald Trump's tenure began.
European Allies' Stance
- Division with Allies: Differences have emerged between the US and allies like Britain and France, who abstained from the Security Council vote.
- Potential Shift: Peskov noted that while Europe hasn't adopted a balanced stance yet, future dialogues might lead to a more balanced European position.
