Marking setback for Trump administration, UN approved European-backed resolution demanding Russia immediately withdraw from Ukraine.
Under President Trump, the US split with European allies at the UN by refusing to blame Russia for the Ukraine war in votes on multiple resolutions. The US voted against a Europe-backed resolution blaming Russia in the General Assembly and abstained on its own resolution after European amendments specified Russia as the aggressor. A US-backed resolution in the Security Council also failed due to European abstentions.
