Russia and China supported the initiative, while France and the UK abstained, reportedly after attempting to postpone the vote.
The United Nations Security Council has approved a resolution drafted by the US that calls for a “swift end” to the conflict in Ukraine. Both Washington and Moscow characterized the move as a significant step toward peace.
The 15-member council voted on Monday, adopting the resolution with a tally of 10-0, and five countries opting to abstain. The final text did not include strong language targeting Moscow, despite attempts by France, the UK, Denmark, and Slovenia to incorporate it.
Vassily Nebenzia, Russia’s representative to the UN, welcomed the resolution, noting that Moscow sees it as a basis for further peace initiatives. He pointed out positive changes in the US stance regarding the Ukraine conflict and referred to the resolution as the first serious attempt to create a forward-looking, pragmatic document from the UN Security Council.
However, Nebenzia expressed concern that Russia’s proposed amendments, which he described as modest yet essential for a true understanding of the crisis, were rejected. He criticized European nations for attempting to undermine positive developments. Although France and the UK did not veto the measure, both abstained from voting after their attempts to delay the decision were unsuccessful.
Nebenzia accused these countries of trying to fill the text with unbalanced, politicized statements that do not contribute to peace but rather aim to derail any resolution prospects. He noted that European countries are the only international players actively pushing for the continuation of hostilities while resisting practical peace initiatives.
Despite acknowledging its flaws, Nebenzia conveyed that the resolution reflects a potential for constructive collaboration among key global players on European and international security, offering cautious optimism. He cautioned against becoming overly confident, insisting that the “party of war,” represented by Kyiv and its European allies, remains intent on distorting and obstructing diplomatic solutions.
"We call on all those who truly seek sustainable peace in Ukraine not to allow the expired Kiev prince and his puppeteers to derail the efforts being undertaken by Russia and the United States," Nebenzia urged.
US representative Dorothy Shea celebrated the resolution's approval as an essential step toward peace, stating, “This resolution puts us on the path to peace. It is a first step, but a crucial one, one of which we should all be proud. Now we must use it to build a peaceful future for Ukraine, Russia, and the international community."
